Abstract
This description of the healing space that Kaspar Kiepenheuer used for therapy is filled with images that describe a vessel of containment for transformation. The witch’s house is named from the depiction on paper of a cottage drawn by a boy who visited. The tools and mileau are described, where children and adults step back in time “to take a step forward.”
