Description

Supervision of Art Psychotherapy: A Theoretical and Practical Handbook explores the unique role of the image in art psychotherapy supervision. This book establishes a theoretical base for current practice, bringing together clinical experience and innovative approaches to address complex issues in child and adult work.

Through vivid case studies and a range of theoretical perspectives, the authors examine key topics such as the narrative of imagery, enchantment, ambivalence, and engagement in supervision. This comprehensive guide is essential for advanced practitioners and students in training, providing a vital contribution to the literature on Continuing Professional Development.

By exploring the intersection of art and psychotherapy, this handbook challenges readers to consider the meaning of images and image-making in supervision, and invites them to reflect on the role of the artist in the psychotherapist's practice.
