The Handbook of Art Therapy

What is art therapy? How can art and therapy combine to help individuals understand aspects of their inner life? This new edition of The Handbook of Art Therapy is thoroughly revised and updated and includes new sections on neurobiological research, and a current review of literature and contemporary practice. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of art therapy in a variety of different settings. Caroline Case and Tessa Dalley draw on their experience of teaching and practising art therapy, concentrating on what art psychotherapists actually do, where they practice, and how and why art therapy is effective. First-hand accounts of the experience of art therapy from both therapists and clients are used throughout, enriching the discussion of subjects including: <ul>
<li>the art therapy room</li> <li>art and psychoanalysis </li> <li>art therapy and creativity </li> <li>working with groups in art therapy </li> <li>art therapy with individual patients. </li>
</ul>
This straight-forward and highly practical Handbook will be invaluable not only as an introduction to the profession but also as a reference for students of art psychotherapy both during and after their training.

Psychology & Counseling

This fascinating account of a young man's journey from depression to health and creativity , through art therapy, centres on a series of extraordinary images. These were produced by the patient, Kim, throughout his two year relationship with art therapist, Gabrielle Rifkind. Here is a rare opportunity to hear the voice of the patient as well asthat of the therapist. Therapy and process 'come alive' in the text, addressing the reality of the individual experience of both patient and therapist as well as the reciprocal difficulties that each sets up for the other. The third voice, that of Tessa Dalley, provides an objective view of the process as it occurs, analysing the developing relationship between the therapit, patient and image, and setting it in the context of current art therapy theory. Such a detailed account of clinical practice within art therapy is rarely available.

Three Voices of Art Therapy: Image, Client, Therapist

Rifkind, Gabrielle

Mental Health

The "three voices" of art therapy - the image, the client and the therapist - are the three essential aspects of the art therapy relationship. In this story, the client, Kim Terry, describes his own path from depression to health and creativity through a series of extraordinary images. When art therapist Gabrielle Rifkind first met Kim, he was withdrawn, isolated, had suicidal thoughts, and was encased in a metaphorical "suit of armour" to protect himself. In weekly art therapy sessions over two years, he began slowly to work through his difficulties, to face the real world, and, by exploring his own creativity, to learn to live with himself. This account provides an exceptional opportunity to hear the voice of the client as well as that of the therapist. It becomes clear how deep a relationship Gabrielle and Kim enter over the course of the therapeutic encounter. Therapy and process "come alive" in the descriptive text, which addresses the reality of the two individuals' experience and their reciprocal difficulties. The most permanent and powerful voice in the text, as in art therapy, is that of the images which are chosen to represent the stages of Kim's therapeutic experience.

Three Voices of Art Therapy (Psychology Revivals): Image, client, therapist

The image, the client and the therapist are three essential aspects of the art therapy relationship; each has a separate ‘voice’. In this book, originally published in 1993, the three voices come alive as the client, Kim, and the therapist, Gabrielle, tell the story of his path from suicidal despair to health and creativity through a series of extraordinary images. The images, chosen to represent the stages of Kim’s therapeutic experience, speak for themselves and convey their importance as a powerful catalyst for change. An outer voice, that of Tessa Dalley, provides a theoretical commentary on the process as it occurs, adding to the understanding of what is happening in the therapeutic encounter. This fully rounded account of clinical practice in art therapy offers a rare insight into common issues and dilemmas which will make the book of interest to both professional and non-professional readers alike.

Images of Art Therapy (Psychology Revivals): New Developments in Theory and Practice

Working through the process of image-making in a therapeutic relationship, the art therapist is able to explore feelings, fantasies, and myths in different setting with diverse client groups. Originally published in 1987 Images of Art Therapy is a collection of essays by experienced art therapists which discuss and develop both theoretical and practical issues central to art therapy. The authors describe how they work through the use of illustrated case material which includes children, adolescents, and adults, in normal schools, psychiatric hospitals, therapeutic communities, and out-patient clinics. Theoretical considerations include bereavement, play, transference, symbolism, and verbal versus non-verbal communication. The first book on art therapy, Art as Therapy, edited by Tessa Dalley, was a useful introduction to the subject. Images of Art Therapy expands the issues raised in the earlier book in more depth, and develops new and innovative ideas which it was hoped, at the time, would influence both the theory and practice of art therapy in the future.
