Description

Art therapy offers an effective approach to treating individuals with addictions. However, working with this population requires specialized therapist awareness and knowledge.

This handbook provides a comprehensive foundation for art therapists working with clients struggling with addiction. Libby Schmanke shares her extensive experience in providing valuable insights into the needs of this client group, ensuring that therapeutic interventions remain personalized and effective.

Through case studies and practical guidance, the book explores how to incorporate art therapy into treatment models, address the bio-psycho-social aspects of addiction, and manage resistance or lack of cooperation. This resource is ideal for those seeking to enhance their skills in working with individuals struggling with substance abuse and addiction.
