full of good ideas
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.

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

Thanks
Your textbook was incredibly helpful in providing invitations to discuss frustrations through your art activity instructional lesson plans. At this point the "Who I am" activity seems to be the most popular. I will definately use your books again as we grow and refine our art therapy curriculum.

Full of ideas
Good resource for therapists to get started in the field. A lot of thought goes into planning materials, procedures and discussion about topic.

Not really worth buying.
Not that great. Honestly, because it doesn’t have the main characteristic of the essence of art therapy. It just have methods not really explained well what does it symbolises and how does it really work no psychological aspect .. I’m not happy with this book.
