A Practical Art Therapy

Not what I was looking for.

I LOVE this book. The entire book is FULL of different art directives and activities to use with students/clients. Almost everything can be easily adapted to suit people of all ages. I am currently planning a group for teenage girls and all of the planned directives have been adapted from this book. This is really a wonderful book to own for anyone interested in Art Therapy!

This is very useful for working as an art therapist. It is full of ideas and ways to help clients work through their emotions and find their way to more healthy ways of living.

I have used several of the projects in this book in work with both the very young (4yrs) to senior adults. Very practical and very hands on, a go to resource.

Great ideas for projects to use in art therapy. Since I was advised to continue to use art therapy after my admission to a psychiatric hospital and not having an art therapy program in my hometown, I am using these ideas and sharing the final products with my therapist weekly. It has opened up a great dialogue for us and I am reaping the benefits.

This book doesn't waste time discussing the theory behind art therapy, instead it gets right into practical suggestions for art therapy exercises. I bought this book so that I can undertake my own art therapy without having to see an art therapist; I'm already seeing a Reichian Therapist and I wanted some guidance with expressing emotions and experiences through art to compliment my therapy and this book did not disappoint me.

I love doing art therapy with my therapy kids b/c I love seeing their creativity come alive on paper. This book offers a lot of creative interventions to use with the kids.

Great book with many ideas that can be altered. It is smaller than I pictured it, but then again I should have read the description more clearly!

this is a practical book, full of interesting exercises to explore creativity alone or with others, using different mediums and in some case 'reading' what's behind a drawing or a sculpture.

Limited in its concept. Nothing new here. I missed the theory.

Thank you very much!

Good practical book

Great resource for art therapists! Quick and easy to read! It's very resourceful for activities, use of activities, and for a suitable population!
