Beginning with an overview of art therapy as both a practice and a career, it shows the routes to becoming an art therapist and what the role entails. The essential approaches, frameworks, techniques and assessment styles of art therapy are visualised and discussed, making this book the perfect companion on your journey as an art therapist.

Reviews

This Graphic Guide is an absolute delight, covering the territory of art therapy remarkably well. It is refreshingly nonpartisan, and skilfully manages to be both deep and broad. Uniquely visual yet verbally thoughtful, it's a fine over-view of the field.
