Purchase options and add-ons

The second edition of the highly successful 1987 book brings together the varied theoretical approaches to art therapy, and provides a variety of solutions to the challenge of translating theory to technique. In each chapter, the esteemed contributors, experts in the approach of the particular chapter, provide a definition of and orientation to the specific theory or area of emphasis, showing its relevance to art therapy. Clinical examples and nearly 100 illustrations are employed as the authors present the creative and effective treatment of patients.

In addition to the strength of the theoretical overview, this new edition offers many new chapters including those on cognitive-behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy. The text is divided into five sections: psychodynamic approaches; humanistic approaches; psycho-educational approaches; systemic approaches; and integrative approaches. Commentaries by well known art therapists follow each section of the book. Art therapists at all levels, as well as any mental health professional utilizing art in their clinical work, will find this new edition of value and interest.

The chapters are clearn and smaller. The content is easily understood and has great case studies. This is one of my top two favorite textbooks in my graduate school studies this far.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Integrative Approach and Must Read for Art Therapists!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014
This book was required reading for a class I took in graduate school in art therapy in 2006. I have kept it and reread it many times and I highly recommend it for anyone in the field of art therapy--student and therapist alike. I love the way it is divided up into presenting the details of cases using art therapy in different schools of thought, or approaches as Rubin calls them, in psychology. I honestly do not think I understood the integrative approach to art therapy until I picked this book up and started reading it (and it was not my first semester of art therapy classes). This book is packed with data on theory and practice with case material and art exercises.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too wordy
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2014
My counseling class in graduate school required us to read this book.... This is the worst textbook that I've ever had to read. This author is too wordy, and tries too hard to explain a simple statement. If I were the editor of this book, I would have scratched out all the unnecessary words. I can't read a page with out getting lost, due to all the extra words. Art Therapy professors should really look for a new textbook to assign, or just rewrite this whole book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Major book on Art Therapy
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2009
I purchased this book to use later in Winter as a text book for a graduate class in Counseling. This is a revision of an older version and I believe is an outstanding introduction to theories and practices in Art therapy. Considerably superior to other books I have seen widely advertised.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview of art therapy
Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2012
Verified Purchase
I couldn't disagree more with a previous review. I think this is an excellent account of contemporary art therapy from a wide variety of clinical perspectives and it is refreshing to see art therapy being discussed and used from approaches other than the traditional psychoanalytic. A really good overview.
