Clinical case examples and over 100 illustrations of patient artwork vividly demonstrate the techniques in practice. Approaches to Art Therapy, 3rd edition, is an essential resource in the assembly of any clinician's theoretical and technical toolbox, and in the formulation of each individual's own approach to art therapy.

A classic is reborn! Approaches to Art Therapy has been significantly restructured to preserve key elements while also presenting a bounty of new material. Historical models are updated, contemporary trends informed by brain science are introduced, and the role of the studio as a place of artistic and contemplative practice is re-examined. Much more than a new edition, this is a true re-visioning as only Judith Rubin could do.
