Summary: "Excellent resource"
As a first time reader of what art Therapy is about, I found the Art Therapy Sourcebook an easy and comprehensive read. The illustrations and examples are meaningful and the exercises are great. I had once lost the enthusiasm to draw, through reading this book and following the exercises I have created my own creative journal, I find myself immersed in the freedom of drawing once again. For those that are interested in training as an Art Therapist or just taking some Art Therapy for themselves, there is a list of organisations and their contact details at the back of the book as well as some practical advice about qualifying to become an Art Therapist.
