I wasn't able to require this book. Thank you.
useful for all students because they can consider appraoches that move beyond words alone. Loved the book!
Brilliant insight and good for students to develop and understand Art Therapy concepts.
The text provides useful insight regarding the design of art therapy interventions with diverse client groups. It is a highly recommended book for academics, practitioners and clinicians
This book has lots of nice ideas and illustrations and we found that the techniques and methods discussed are easily transferable and inspire you to be creative in your own work.
A little too specialist for the art programmes we offer.
I would highly recommend this book for any counsellor and psychotherapist, play therapist, supervisor or student who is ready to expand their creativity and engage in art therapy.
This is going to form the basis of a whole new session focussing on the links between art teaching a wellbeing. A really useful book.
