Which contribution is correctly matched?

• A. Edward Adamson — studio with little interference from therapist
• B. Edward Adamson — cognitive development stages
• C. Piaget — eight stages of development
• D. Erikson — The Artist in Each of Us

Answer: (A)

Edward Adamson is celebrated for establishing a Studio of Art Therapy and advocating a studio-based, minimally directive approach. In his model, the space provides freedom for clients to express themselves through art while the therapist largely observes and supports rather than directing the content. This emphasis on a non-intrusive, exploratory process is what the paired statement captures, making it the best match. The other pairings mix up concepts: Piaget is known for cognitive development with four stages, not eight; Erikson’s work centers on psychosocial development rather than an “Artist in Us” concept.
