Art Therapy Techniques and Applications Paperback – Illustrated, July 15, 2009

I work with school age kids who have very limuted verbal skills and was looking for ideas for group activities that would be creative, fun and therapeutic without having to rely so much on "talk therapy". This book has lots of Very good practical ideas. Most were designed for adults but many are adaptable for kids. Very easy directions, and lots of activities that don't require a lot of set up or special materials. I will be getting a lot if use out of this one!!

I work in private practice, and the value of this book cannot be praised enough. It is comprehensive, yet concise and easy to access with limited time when planning client sessions. I appreciate the intent behind the writing, as it build upon more basic art therapy skills and gives in-depth strategies and modalities. Definitely one I will continue to reference for years to come!

Great book a lot of great ideas for art therapy. Can't wait to try some of them.

Awesome book! The aspect of art therapy presented is all about relationship dynamics, everyone can benefit!

I started a art therapy group for older elementary students. This book gave me a lot of good ideas. There are activities for many different ages and situations. I had to tweak a few to fit the population I was working with.

Art Therapy Techniques and Applications offers directives applicable to various populations. The volume is organized around techniques, such as drawing, painting, collages, etc. with seperate sections on mindfulness, computer art and multimedia. Great book fior the new art therapist or the seasoned professional looking for inspiration. Highly recommended!

It is full of activities and I have really enjoyed using them w my clients. They provide insight in a none threatening manner.

Great ideas, but mostly geared toward groups and superficial work, not really meant for individual work as a therapist.
