Editorial Reviews

Review
"This well-written book shows brilliantly the interplay between soul and sacred, art and shamanism, sickness and health. It is a mature product, combining lucid philosophy with hands-on experience, and contains profound insights into the human psyche."—Intuition



"The fast-growing field of expressive arts therapy recognizes Shaun McNiff to be its most perceptive pioneer and articulate teacher. Art As Medicine clearly displays his gifts and solidly confirms his reputation."—James Hillman

Product Description
McNiff introduces his pioneering methods of using the creative arts to renew and heal the imagination, such as interpretation through performance and storytelling, collaborative creation, and dialoguing with paintings, as opposed to talking about paintings. 30 halftones.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but writing style is too wordy., June 27, 1999
By A Customer
McNiff's writing style is very dense and hard to grasp. But if you can persevere, he has had some interesting experiences using art as a therapeutic technique.
