Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Astonishing answers to unspoken questions revealed! Within the pages of this book, you will find the means to create attractive and meaningful art projects for children of all ages. One might even compare it to a cookbook for art therapists because each project is presented in the same form as a recipe. This, we trust, will make each project easy to follow as prepared or adapt as desired. If you are a seasoned art therapist, you will find these projects a useful addition to your reparatory. For the newer therapist, this book can be used as a springboard to experiencing art therapy and discovering your own application and style. Twenty-seven projects are presented in an "at-a-glance" format. Each project provides the purpose for the project, material list, directions, follow up, and some considerations for interpretation. The projects are organized into four categories, icebreakers, building self-esteem, identifying emotions, and identifying support groups. Dr. Abrams is a family therapist who has used art as a medium to reach into the world of his patients for over thirty years. Now he has taken this opportunity to share his skills with you.
