A great source for learning more about the application of art therapy. As a graduate student, I found this book indespensible for learning about my field and writing my thesis. I would recommend this book to anyone interested practicing art therapy as a proffesion.

This is a well-written book, but if you are an advanced professional or even a graduate student, just read it at the library. The well known author Rubin has again put together a book that is very basic and easily readable. But the total feeling of this book is rather flat. It also feels as if she is writing for a very young audience, perhaps high school age or young adults.

I imagined when I purchased this volume that I would be reading some detailed cases as the author is a graduate of many fine schools and trainings. But that experience does not come through and I do not think I can recommend this one to graduate students at university level.

This book has it all for the new and beginning art therapist. A great review to those who are already in the profession, and it has unique outlooks on problems a therapist may encounter.
