Vieten describes ASU veterans project pairing trauma survivors with artists

What was said

"And so there's a colleague of mine who's at the Arizona uh State University. He's at the Center for the Science of the Imagination. >> And he's doing something called the VIP project, the Veterans Imagination Project. His name is Bob Beard."

Dr Cassandra Vieten says an Arizona State University researcher, Bob Beard, runs a “Veterans Imagination Project” in which veterans with severe combat trauma are guided to imagine their futures and are paired with an artist who produces a detailed sketch or painting. Vieten says participants leave with “hope” and a sense of direction, though she does not cite published results in the interview.
