Welcome
You are at the home page of Linda Gupta, a first year doctoral student in the Ph.D. Program in Media, Art, and Text at Virginia Commonwealth University. MATX offers me the opportunity to integrate my career paths as a psychotherapist, social work educator, and writer into the creation of products and processes that are more compelling than those created from the study of one discipline alone. I want to use story, images, and film in my work with persons who, like me, are creating a vision of who they want to be or gathering the skills they need to move toward change. I want to stimulate others to see, hear, feel, and learn in ways both conscious and unconscious to us. We will be able then to mine our own psyches - in the words of the narrative therapists, to “rewrite our stories.”
