Artful Therapy (Electronic book text)

This resourceful guide presents proven techniques of art therapy to mental health professionals and allied workers with little or no background in art. The author, an art therapist with over 40 years of experience in teaching and working with clients, cleverly describes how art and visual imagery can enhance the therapeutic experience of clients of varying ages and abilities and clearly explains how to incorporate art into the therapy process as another tool in the therapist's kit. As an added bonus, "Artful Therapy" contains a DVD of actual art therapy sessions led by well-known experts that provides visual expression to the concepts described in the book.
