Art Psychotherapy (ePub)

The long-awaited new edition of the landmark text defining art
therapy

Art therapists use the creative process and the issues that
surface during art therapy to help their clients increase insight
and judgment, cope with stress, work through traumatic experiences,
increase cognitive abilities, have better relationships with family
and friends, and simply enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of the
creative experience.

In this highly anticipated revision of the definitive text on
art therapy, author and pioneer art therapist Dr. Harriet Wadeson
examines the clinical considerations, education, history, and
application of art therapy treatment programs for an array of
presenting problems. Reflecting current DSM updates since the first
edition's publication, the Second Edition has been completely
updated, with nine new chapters on trauma, crisis, multicultural
considerations, community art therapy, and more.

Illustrated with over 150 works of art from clients as well as
the author's own personal artwork, and packaged with a companion
CD-ROM, which includes more than 100 full-color versions of the
illustrations in the book, Art Psychotherapy, Second Edition
is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of art therapy.
Written by one of the most established experts in the field, this
book will be informative for practicing art therapists, other
mental health practitioners looking to incorporate art therapy into
their mental health practice, students in these disciplines, and
those interested in entering the art therapy profession.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are
not included as part of eBook file.
