Hats are a powerful social and cultural marker. In the early to mid 1900’s, people rarely ventured out in public without a suitable hat. Today, when you wear a hat you are certain to be noticed. Our program provider, Wayne Wichern says, “It is always interesting to me to observe the obvious or subtle adjustments of a client’s mental and physical attitude as I set a hat on their head. The hat (itself) may well ask for a confident straight-forward comportment or perhaps a more mysterious or mischievous character is requested of the wearer. Thus the “theater of the hat” as each change of hat reveals facets of an individual’s persona.”
