About this title

Synopsis

A compelling window into the emotional, mental, and physical problems of children uses one hundred works produced in art therapy to show how children between the ages of four and eighteen have learned to cope with depression, divorce, eating disorders, psychosis, learning differences, and physical illness through art.

Reviews

Koplewicz and Goodman (New York Sch. of Medicine) have put together a beautiful and haunting coffee-table (or doctor's-waiting-room) book of artwork about childhood trauma. Produced as part of the NYU Child Study Center's "efforts to educate the public so the parents will be better able to identify and accept when their child has a mental disorder," this book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition, displays--in full color and on heavy paper--103 pieces of artwork gathered from a cross-section of therapists and educators. Some of these pictures are captioned and explained by the children, ages four through 18, who created them. Included is an excellent overview by Margery Rosen succinctly describing some of the mental-health crises that challenge so many of the nation's children. Not a work of criticism or even interpretation, this book offers pictures expressing each child's innermost experiences in symbols other than words and speak for themselves. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

Store Description

Member: Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, Southern New England Antiquarian Booksellers. "One of the finest in N.E. (&) the premier used book shop on Cape Cod." - Used Book Lover's Guide. We are a general used and rare book shop with about 70,000 volumes. Located half way between Falmouth and Hyannis (4632 Falmouth Rd, Rte 28), we are named in honor of the famous colonial era printer and philanthropist, founder (1812) of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester. We started in Worcester in 1969, and moved to the Cape in 1990. Impressed with architectural craftmanship, in Worcester we were stewards and renewers of a decorative Queen Anne Victorian. Here on the Cape we take care of the newest (1860) Crocker family home in the village of Cotuit, part of the town of Barnstable: a tall peaked Italianate Victorian now painted pink and four other colors. The owner's training has included work in four libraries and apprenticeship with bookseller Irving Ephraim (1908-1989) of Worcester who began his own career during the depression. Able assistants have always been and known the meaning of 'book people.' Remembering with fondness Mr. E. and the enormous influence of our home town librarians, we try to continue their tradition of service. Inquiries and orders gratefully received. 508-428-2752. isthomas@aol.com. www.isaiahthomasbooks.com.Please visit us in our open shop on Cape Cod. Open Tuesday - Saturday 11-5, Sunday 12-5. Open Monday in the summer.
