Art Therapy provides a concise introduction to theory and
practice, brought to life through case material and examples of
artwork produced during therapy sessions. Written by practicing art
therapist Dave Edwards, the book explains key theoretical ideas -
such as symbolism, play, transference and interpretation - and
shows how these relate to practice.
The book also provides useful information on training and
employment as well as guidance on practical issues such as:
} assessing clients
} establishing and maintaining boundaries, and
} ending therapy.
An extended case study provides an overview of the whole process
from beginning to end, tying together issues discussed in earlier
chapters.
For anyone training or planning to train as an art therapist,
Art Therapy offers an excellent foundation on which to build future
knowledge and skills."
