The therapeutic of colour and its application in painting. Efi Athanassiou, ION Editorial Group Co, Athens, 2002

Her book "The therapeutic of colour and its application in painting" has been published byION Editorial Group Co, Athens, 2002. "In this book by Efi Athanassiou, who is painter and art critic, is traced the course of the energy of colour, through many civilizations, from antiquity up to the modern epoch, in which the colour acquires again its very important meaning, for man.
In this book of Efi Athanassiou, is examined the relation of colour with the organic systems and the energy centres of man and its correspondences with the chemical elements, the minerals and the human manifestations.
The experimental research and its historical retrospection, together with its applications, shed new light to its psycho-intellectual therapeutic capacities and the chromotherapy methods, as well as its preventive influence, attested by the extended bibliography.
In this book a new and mainly, entirely new and original constant of approach of the colour, which the writer brings, is the therapeutic painting which she introduces, after many years of study and practical application on the subject of therapeutic function of the colour, in parallel with its aesthetics, which aims to assist man for a better and more complete life.".
