During graduate school to become an art therapist, I read many, many books about art therapy. This one is simply the best. The author provides a strong theoretical foundation for the use of art media in therapy, and rationale for the use of specific media with different individuals. It is not a cookbook of art therapy directives, as are many art therapy books, but rather it provides an education in how to psychologically and developmentally conceptualize art therapy and the use of media in order to create your own effective and appropriate directives in session. I can't recommend this book highly enough for practicing art therapists and students.
