Psychotherapists, counselors, and other health care professionals are increasingly turning to expressive therapies - including art, music, dance/movement, drama, poetry, play, sandtray, and integrative approaches - in their work with clients of all ages. This timely volume offers a comprehensive presentation of these innovative and powerful modalities. Expert contributors present in-depth descriptions of their respective approaches to intervention with children, adults, and groups. Giving particular attention to strategies for integrating expressive work with other forms of psychotherapy, this is an eminently practical resource for clinicians of any orientation."--BOOK JACKET

This book was so wonderful. I didn't read from cover to cover, instead i looked for ideas and inspiration. It made me very interested in art therapy, and it is definitely something i'd own. it gave me so many ideas for projects, and ways to make myself happy when i'm sad. it was just what i needed today. if you're interested at ALL in art therapy, give this book a look.
