Description
Creative, fun & fast therapeutic warm-ups! When a client walks into the therapy room they don’t know what to expect-feeling anxious, unsure and perhaps fearful. Brief, art therapy warm-ups are the perfect way to break the ice and get clients feeling comfortable, less inhibited, and motivated to participate in individual or group therapy.
These unique 250 art exercises increase self-esteem, self-awareness and a feeling of success in artistic expression and communication, allowing clients to engage in therapeutic exercises without judgment. Using simple materials like paper, pencils and markers, these techniques can be immediately implemented in your practice.
Art techniques based in:
– Mindfulness
– CBT
– Self-Compassion
Useful for clients dealing with:
– Anxiety
– Stress
– Low self-esteem
– Relationship issues
– Life changes

Like any resource of this nature it is easily adaptable to any population. Additionally, it provides excellent transitions for interactive exercises. I like that it is not entirely emotion based, but rather contains exercises that cause an individual or group to utilize all of their senses. I am looking forward to using/referring to this for a long time to come in curriculum and program development

I had to rent this textbook for a Child Psychopathology class. It was a very interesting book. It was laid out in an easy way to follow and was useful when studying for exams.

I gave the book four stars only because it is aimed at professionals rather than individual consumers. The descriptions of other patients are slightly distracting.

Short and to the point- I use this reference for group ideas for acute inpatient psych groups. I’m a board certified art therapist and this has been a great resource for introducing new groups to my group list.

This is a book that you can actually use in sessions. Anytime you need an activity you can flip through it and find something that applies. They can be used briefly or expanded to open up a whole new conversation. This book is really helpful then hesitate to purchase it
