Review
"...an accessible and useful resource for any clinician who wants to know more about art therapy or who wants to better understand clients' artwork in treatment or therapy....The handbook covers the gamut of art therapy applications in a variety of settings. Readers are likely to find several chapters that correspond with their own interests....Handbook of Art Therapy is a welcome addition to the art therapy literature. It is a useful reference and a readable, intersting book to browse."--Psychiatric Services

5 out of 5 stars finally, a readable and up-to-date book for professionals

  Reviewer: A reader from Columbus, OH

As a recent counseling graduate (PhD), I was always put off by the art therapy books on the market. They were all so poorly written and talked about antiquated theories of counseling and therapy. Now, finally there is a wonderfully readable text and I am glad to have found it as I begin work with clients. This book is for anyone who is interested in using art in their work with adults, children, adolescents, and groups-- there are helpful chapters on trauma, medical issues, autism, ADHD, etc. There are also sections on art therapy assessments that are very well written and concise.

This is the state-of-the-art art therapy book for your counseling, psychology, or art therapy library. Also, if you are a beginner, see Malchiodi's Art Therapy Sourcebook, another readable volume.
