Roads to the Unconscious is a book not only for art therapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and mental health professionals but for all individuals eager to use the image-making process for self-discovery and personal growth. 
The author explains how road drawings are capable of eliciting impromptu imagery that represents the person's origins, the history of his or her life, experiences to date and intent for the future - even from a single drawing. 
Based on psychodynamic principles, the focus is on insight gained through the image-making process. This book provides an overview of the theoretical principles and rationale for the road drawing technique, as well as simple directions for administering the task. The author includes illustrations that demonstrate how the technique can be used to elicit graphic representation of the person's "road of life" and serve as a metaphor for the person's capacity for change and restoration.

Statistics about child abuse and neglect can overwhelm, yet somehow still fail to impart the very real damage done to children who are then placed in foster and adoptive homes with under-prepared, under-supported families. Emotional damage causes injured children to exhibit "survival behaviors" which can be disturbing and often damage the family environment despite the best intentions and interventions of foster and adoptive parents who wish to help the child heal. The author foresees the influence of these children on foster or adoptive families and offers strategies to transform the upsetting behavior and build positive interaction between the child and family. Also available in Spanish.

Raising Cain: Caring for Troubled Youngsters/repairing Our Troubled System

McNerney, Terry

Caring for troubled adoptive/foster care children can be both harrowing and heroic. Many of today's foster and adopted children come from backgrounds where they experience not only the loss of previous caregivers, but have also suffered from abuse, sexual exploitation, or neglect. Individuals who invite these children into their homes often find themselves in a therapeutic role that can tax and exhaust. Troubled Transplants focuses on these children, their backgrounds, and their deleterious impact on the interaction and environment with the foster or adoptive family. The authors provide suggestions about behavioral roots and practical strategies to address and improve these issues.
