Including contributions from some of the leading art therapists in
Britain, this important book addresses the key issues in the theory
and practice of art therapy. The fundamental significance of the
art in art therapy practice permeates the book, close attention
being paid by several writers to the art-making process and the
aesthetic responses of therapist and client. Other authors explore
the tensions between art and therapy, images and speech,
subjectivity and objectivity, arguing that the dynamic interplay
between these elements is inherent to the practice of art therapy.
The role of containment is another theme that is explored by
contributors in a variety of ways to highlight the importance not
only of the therapeutic containment of the client by the therapist,
but also the containment of the therapist. The physical contexts of
the session, within an art room and within the larger working
environment, are identified as important arenas where conflict and
tension is experienced and must be explored if art therapy is to
continue to develop.
