David Edwards' updated Art Therapy 2nd edition aptly manages to convey a breadth as well as a depth of the profession.This book's accessible and lively style makes it an excellent primary text to gain a comprehensive understanding of art therapy. It makes for essential reading for people interested in the field as well as students and professionals alike.
A good, accessible introduction to the subject of art therapy with an overview of the history, guidance on different practical considerations and some helpful case illustrations as well as clear references for further reading. Not as in-depth in terms of clinical practice and reflection as other texts, more of a practical introduction to the field and career path.
Interesting content. Used by some of my ITE art specialist students as supplemental reading for their own research.
This is going to form the basis of a whole new session focussing on the links between art teaching a wellbeing. A really useful book.
I would highly recommend this book for any counsellor and psychotherapist, play therapist, supervisor or student who is ready to expand their creativity and engage in art therapy.
A little too specialist for the art programmes we offer.
This book has lots of nice ideas and illustrations and we found that the techniques and methods discussed are easily transferable and inspire you to be creative in your own work.
The text provides useful insight regarding the design of art therapy interventions with diverse client groups. It is a highly recommended book for academics, practitioners and clinicians
Brilliant insight and good for students to develop and understand Art Therapy concepts.
useful for all students because they can consider appraoches that move beyond words alone. Loved the book!
I wasn't able to require this book. Thank you.
For a comprehensive, and thoughtful introduction to Art Therapy this is possibly the best place to start.
Beautiful and simple examples of the impact of arts in healthcare
Using therapeutic approaches & use of creativity in practice.
Within the South African society with many previously disadvantaged people, existing racial divides and language barriers, using art therapy becomes essential in working with people as art is not restricted to one cultural grouping, but transcends these barriers constructed by people.
