Comment from a social work professor and clinical supervisor:
“I am very impressed by the practical application of sculpting afforded through the use of the Kvebaek family sculpture tools. You offered me, in a short time, a useful and informative presentation regarding the clinical and theoretical foundations of this therapeutic technique. I think it would be an invaluable tool for use in assessment and family therapy. It practicalizes family sculpting for clinicians –-and would be easily accessible for newer clinicians.”
