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.

Pages : 356
Book Description
Art therapy with infants, toddlers and their families is an exciting and developing area of practice. With contributions from Australia, the United Kingdom and Spain, Art Therapy in the Early Years has an international flavour. The authors describe clinical art psychotherapy practice with children under five and their families in settings that include children in care, mental health clinics, paediatric wards, pre-schools, and early intervention programs. Divided into three sections, Art Therapy in the Early Years presents different clinical environments in which art psychotherapy with this client group is found: • individual art therapy; • group art therapy; • parent-child dyad and family art therapy. The book proposes that within these different contexts, the adaptive possibilities inherent in art psychotherapy provide opportunities for therapeutic growth for young children and their families. Art Therapy in the Early Years will be of interest to art therapists working with children; students and practitioners from creative arts therapies; psychologists and psychotherapists; social workers; pre-school teachers; child psychiatrists, clinical supervisors, and other professionals working in the early years settings.

Book Description
A classic in the field & one which may have inspired many to become art therapists, this eminently readable volume is ideal for acquainting students with some of the fundamental ideas in the field. Subjects such as a sense of identity, feelings of emptiness, interpretation of reality, ambivalence, aggression, defenses, & sublimation are discussed as Edith Kramer's eloquent words capture the interplay between child, artwork & therapist, bringing to life the fast-moving events in an artroom peopled by emotionally disturbed children. Kramer has a deep knowledge of psychoanalysis, skill & intuition as an artist & the humane love of a born teacher. In one reviewer's opinion, her book's discussion of sublimination, art & defense, aggression & the role of the art therapist have not been surpassed by later volumes or other authors. Richly documented with case material & abundantly illustrated, this book offers inspiration not only to fledgling clinicians, but to any one working with children who wishes to understand how & why art can have such a profound effect. Edith Kramer is a practicing artist & educator who has worked with disturbed, handicapped & normal children in a variety of settings. She is currently adjunct professor of art therapy at NYU.
