An Interview with Judith Rubin, Eleanor Irwin, and Others

Expressive Media Inc. (EMI) is a nonprofit organization cofounded in 1985 by pioneer art therapist, psychologist, and analyst, Judith A. Rubin, with her colleague Eleanor Irwin, pioneer drama therapist, psychodramatist, and analyst. EMI's focus is the production and distribution of films demonstrating best practices in the expressive arts, including a number of award-winning titles. The Institute of the Arts in Healing furthers EMI's educational mission to "extend the healing power of the arts" to people of all ages. The Expressive Therapies Summit is EMI's primary source of fundraising, and Summit profits make it possible for the work of EMI to continue. For more information about EMI, watch clips or stream our films, or to buy DVDs, visit www.expressivemedia.org.
