Editor : Christopher Brown, Editor : Helen Omand

Reviews and Endorsements

"This multi-authored book explores the history and development of studio-based art therapy in a diverse range of settings and from numerous theoretical perspectives. There is no comparable UK publication and it makes a valuable and timely contribution to the literature. While its main readership is likely to be practicing arts therapists and students in training, this book contains much that will also be of interest to artists, mental health workers and practitioners from related disciplines" - David Edwards, artist, retired HCPC registered art therapist and author of the book, Art Therapy

"This vital and timely book places the Studio at the heart of Art Therapy, updating the studio's historic significance with descriptions of innovative new practices, much of which arises to meet the needs of people suffering the adverse affects of socio-economic and political realities. The thoughtful and wide ranging chapters impress on the reader the centrality of art and art making and the significance of art therapy studios as inclusive, adaptable and creative places" Dean Reddick, Art therapist with Latimer Community Art Therapy; co-editor, Art Therapy in the Early Years: Therapeutic Interventions with Infants, Toddlers and their Families.
