Art Therapy Workbook for Grief & Loss: Exploring the experience of Grief through Art Therapy and Writing Exercises, for Teens and Adults.

My son went through a really tragic event when his best friend passed away. He is also an artist, so I thought this book would be good for him. And it has! He loves it, and I am really fortunate to have found such a good tool for him to use through his grieving and healing process after everything that had happened! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has dealt with losing someone they love, artist or not.

I have always combined some art projects in my grief. Counseling in this book provides some new ideas. I think it is better used in a group setting than an individual working through grief on their own. I would rate this as one of my very top resources and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to incorporate some aspects of art into grief work

I wish it had more art directives. Seems to be more tailored towards a cbt approach/ workbook style.

Looking at this book, the exercises seem pointless and not having anything to do with grief and loss. I thought it would be focusing on art and not writing exercises

I am a therapist and I got this book to use with a client that recently experienced a loss. This workbook starts off with prompts for mindfulness and art activities that help build a capacity to process the complex emotions experienced with loss and grief. Then it goes into psychoeducation and art and writing prompts with plenty of space in between for art. Best of all it’s not about creating a masterpiece so anyone can use this workbook even if they don’t consider themselves to be “good at art”. I especially love the waves of grief metaphor!

This workbook is offers tools and creative invitations to those experiencing loss and anyone companioning others in their grief. It is a collection of art and writing prompts to facilitate the process of grieving. The exercises are straightforward and for all levels of artistic confidence. This book encourages people to express their feelings through metaphors and images and to express that which may be initially inexpressible. The art prompts suggest basic art materials but can also be done with pencil or pen. Art Therapy Workbook is a gentle guide for those grieving losses.

This book was too simple, it seemed like a companion workbook to a larger book. As a stand alone it doesnt provide enough information on the exercises to be helpful. Amazon credited me for the price of the book, but they didnt want it back either.

It's fine
