Great Book for Art Therapists

This book was very helpful when researching examples of how art therapy can help children who have experienced trauma such as abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. I found it particularly useful when writing about PTSD in children, and how art therapy can be used to treat these children. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested learning about the benefits of art therapy, or counseling children who have experienced trauma.

Comprehensive Discussion of Interventions Involving Creativity

I am pleased with the book in that it is thorough in it's discussion of trauma and the artistic interventions that can benefit those who suffer from it. I was hoping that the book would be more of an overview of creative ideas and how to apply them, rather than a discussion of why to use interventions involving creativity. However, it is still a valuable resource.

SUPERB RESOURCE!

EXCELLENT book by excellent authors. I will refer to this book MANY MANY times in dealing with one of my daughters who had a traumatic experience at the age of three -- I'm also a professional in early childhood special education!
