An Introduction to Art Therapy

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.
