Review
'Using Drawings in Assessment and Therapy provides a comprehensive and practical overview of a variety of drawing methods used in evaluation and treatment. This revised edition cogently explains how simple drawing tasks assist and enhance work with children, adults, families, and groups and is a welcome addition to every clinician's library. Richly illustrated with case examples, this book covers everything mental health professionals need to use drawings in intervention and to facilitate meaningful communication and insight in their clients.' - Cathy A. Malchiodi, ATR, CPAT, LPCC, author of Understanding Children's Drawings and Handbook of Art Therapy
'Using Drawings in Assessment and Therapy is an excellent educational and insightful book. I was impacted by vivid case descriptions, enriched by assessment guidelines and delighted with the visual images that made this text a highly stimulating and valuable resource. I strongly recommend this book to all mental health professionals who want to enhance their work by introducing drawings into their therapy sessions.' - Marcie Brooks, M.A., LPCC practices and resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

This review is from: Using Drawings in Assessment and Therapy: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals (Paperback)
The book that is written by Dr. Gerald Oster and Patricia G. Crone has been a really guiding book for me in using drawings in my counseling ministry. Many insights I got from the book. The writers show us that its drawings test may be used not only for an individual counseling, but also to a marriage and family counseling. One thing from its writing that really impressed me is that the writers give me so many illustrative cases that I could easily comprehend their explanations.

This book is a good addition to anyone's art therapy library. I liked it enough to buy a second copy as a gift for a fellow therapist.
