CEU Credits

Would you believe that Natalie is Carl Roger's daughter? I did not know that and there was an autograph inside cover. I used this for CEU credits towards LPC continued credits. Since I use art therapy, I was interested in her approach. Not everything she experiences herself is applicable to the room with the client. Book would have been better if written for 'clients' than about the author's experiences but I do suggest others to read it and see what is applicable.

Excellent book

I need to take the time to say this is a wonderful book. I work in the expressive arts when doing therapy with youth and found this book to be informative. This book is simple that it talks about how to use therapy and the expressive arts as a form of healing for the client. Straightforwardand very easy to read. You will enjoy it. It shows a difference between art therapies in which seek to look at the work and try to figure out its meaning. Expressive arts explained in this book states...only the client can say what they feel about what they do. I agree. I recommend this book to expressive arts therapist, expressive arts faciliatators, and counselors who want to learn how to use the expressive arts in their own work.

This book is fantastic. The ideas are great healing tools!

I have read many books on related subjects and this book is the first that I was able to read from cover to cover without putting it down. The author does an excellent job of explaining the tools and methods that are healing in the arena of expressive arts psychology. I recommend it highly!!!
