Updated to address ways in which art therapy can be successfully used as a therapeutic tool in dealing with the postmodern issues that dominate today's world, this important book remains a wellspring of ideas for both the beginning practitioner and the established professional. In addition to presenting structural, systemic, narrative, family of origin and social constructionism in the contexts of theory and of use, this new edition also explores the viability of art therapy in such cutting edge areas as neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma resolution. Rich with examples and case studies, it offers both practical approaches and a conceptual lens through which to view the use of art therapy with individuals, couples, and families. With observations by Cathy A. Malchiodi, ATR, LPCC, CPAT. |
