Wonderful introduction to art therapy in health care, Cathy discusses many different populations one might encounter, directives that would work in those situations as well as personal accounts from individuals who have accessed art therapy during treatment! If you want to have a better idea of what Art Therapy is, and are interested in working in the medical field this is a wonderful addition to your library.

Great book. Just started working in a pediatric setting and am using this book as my manual and reference guide. Love how it covers all different topics and populations! Def recommend if working in a ped. health care setting.

Fantastic condition. Needed for a college class
