Editorial Reviews

"Finally, a comprehensive and user-friendly art therapy book for clinicians working in the trenches with challenging treatment populations! Cathy Malchiodi and her talented contributors have done an admirable job of providing therapists of all professional disciplines with highly creative art therapy techniques and strategies that can empower clients to liberate themselves from the clutches of their oppressive problems. Best of all, the book invites therapists to step out of the mental trap of 'therapy is serious business,' and think and play 'out of the box' with their clients. This is an outstanding book that will be useful to seasoned professionals as well as graduate students in all of the helping professions."—Matthew D. Selekman, MSW, Evanston, Illinois

"This cutting-edge book is clear, comprehensive, and readable. For both seasoned therapists and beginners, it is a 'must' for personal reference. It is also an ideal text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in a variety of specialties—not just art therapy but also clinical and counseling psychology, nursing, pre-med, and medicine. Malchiodi has produced the quintessential book on 'everything you always wanted to know about art therapy and were unable to find in one complete volume.'"—Linda Whitney Peterson, PhD, Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Nevada School of Medicine; author of Children in Distress

"This comprehensive text encompasses everything the student and practitioner need or want to know about using art as a form of communication in clinical practice. An essential reference that should be in the offices of all clinicians, the rich applications make this an important resource for play therapists, psychologists, social workers, school counselors, and art therapists who utilize art in a variety of settings with children, adolescents, and adults."—Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, BCD, RPT-S, School of Social Work, Fordham University
