Synopsis

This book describes the essential elements of the process of facilitating therapeutic change in forming a foundation from which art therapists construct treatment plans and philosophies. Enhancements in this text include: an overview of the spectrum of theoretical orientations within art therapy; a brief history of practice in the United States; descriptions of applications that were not widely understood in 1994; and the most current and seasoned interpretation of how the author perceives the art therapy experience. In addition, the author presents exceptional case examples including client-prepared artwork that highlights the text. This book will inspire serious artists to become involved in art therapy, and encourage veteran art therapists to renew their vocations by living the process of art therapy. This book will be a valuable resource to medical and mental health professionals, occupational therapists, and other rehabilitation professionals that aspire to become more effective in reaching others.
