Margaret Lowenfeld

Margaret Lowenfeld was a pioneering British pediatrician and psychologist who developed innovative techniques to understand children’s mental and emotional worlds. She created the "World Technique," which uses maps and miniature figures that children can use to express their feelings and experiences non-verbally. Her work emphasized the importance of play and creative activities in helping children communicate, especially if they struggle to find words. Lowenfeld’s approaches have influenced child psychotherapy, focusing on understanding children’s inner lives through their drawings, play, and symbolic activities, ultimately promoting emotional well-being and healing.
