An Introduction to Art Therapy: Studies of the "Free" Art Expression of Behavior Problem Children and Adolescents As a Means of Diagnosis and Therapy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an undergraduate majoring in Expressive Arts therapy, and found this book to be invaluable to my studies. Naumberg's case histories and evaluations lend an intimate, 'blow by blow' depiction of the way making art aids the communication and healing of her patients, most of whom were under 13 years old. Many other texts deal rather abstractly with the subject, as if one has already been practicing; Naumberg writes of concrete actions and results, with very little intervening (even though Freudian) interpretation. A must-have for anyone intending to embark in the profession of art therapist.

Highly practical, instructive, and authoritative, this book vividly describes how to conduct child-centered play therapy. The authors are master clinicians who explain core therapeutic principles and techniques, using rich case material to illustrate treatment of a wide range of difficulties. The focus is on nondirective interventions that allow children to freely express their feelings and take the lead in solving their own problems. Flexible yet systematic guidelines are provided for setting up a playroom; structuring sessions; understanding and responding empathically to children's play themes, including how to handle challenging behaviors; and collaborating effectively with parents.
