A Graphic Guide to Art Therapy

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. -- Judith A. Rubin, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM Author & Filmmaker, President of Expressive Media Schmanke, Wolf-Bordonaro, and Huxtable provide a comprehensive pictorial digest and welcome contribution to the literature of the art therapy profession. The wonderful illustrations of culturally diverse art therapy practitioners and populations, depict the breadth of information necessary to understand the scope of art therapy practice. I predict this graphic compendium will become a valuable resource for the nascent and seasoned art therapist. -- Cheryl Doby-Copeland, PhD, ATR-BC, LPC, LMFT, Clinical Program Coordinator, Parent Infant Early Childhood Enhancement Program, and Honorary Life Member of the American Art Therapy Association This book is full of golden nuggets! The authors have taken a wealth of information and presented it in such a way that it will appeal to those curious about art therapy to seasoned professionals/supervisors - and everyone in between. This graphic guide provides an answer to the age-old question, Art therapy, what is that? -- Carolyn Brown Treadon, Phd, ATR-BC, ATCS Professor and Graduate Program Director at Edinboro University Huxtable, Wolf-Bordonaro and Schmanke hit upon the perfect formula-applying pictorial language to communicate to those who rely on visual communication to provide service for others. Their wonderfully engaging introduction to art therapy provide an accessible and fun foundation for those who simply want to learn more about art therapy, those who are committed to pursuing this calling, and those well-embedded in the field. -- David E. Gussak, PhD, ATR-BC-Florida State University, Professor of Art Therapy and Project Coordinator of the FSU/FDC Art Therapy in Prisons Program
