We love this book in our office. We utilize it with all ages and for many different issues.
A must have for every Art therapist. LOVE this book.
This book have a lot of art therapy exercises that can be applied with your clients or with yourself. It’s and excellent resource.
I LOVE this art book! I bought it and have been utilizing it for my clients. ( I work in substance abuse counseling.) I love the breakdown of each prompt, sometimes there are even suggestions within the prompt on how to dive deeper or ask more thoughtful questions in the session.
I have been able to adapt a lot of the material for substance use and my clients are a lot more engaged in treatment since I started using this.
I am an art therapy counseling graduate student doing teletherapy during the pandemic, and this book is so great for helping me come up with directives for my clients. So far, I use it nearly every week and have several pages bookmarked. Plus, I find that many of these activities are easy to adapt for clients and their access to materials as needed. Great book to have on your art therapist’s bookcase!
