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.

2.0 out of 5 stars
uneven content, too much jargon,
By A Customer
This review is from: Approaches to Art Therapy: Theory and Technique (Hardcover)
This book is interesting, but is filled with jargon and some pretty dated material. As a psychotherapist I felt it did not give me much understanding of the different approaches to art therapy that the author proposes exist. The chapters were uneven in style and content, which did not help the overall content of the book. Perhaps someone will write a good book on approaches to art therapy, this just was not it.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book,

This review is from: Approaches to Art Therapy: Theory and Technique (Hardcover)
It's still a little over my head, our professor says it will all come together. But so far so goo.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Major book on Art Therapy,
This review is from: Approaches to Art Therapy: Theory and Technique (Hardcover)
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.
