With a new chapter on the use of new technology and working online, this fourth edition offers a historical overview of art therapy and insight into contemporary settings. The authors, highly experienced in teaching, supervision, and clinical practice, draw on first-hand accounts from therapists and patients to examine the role of art in the art process and setting. The book delves into the theoretical background of art therapy, including the influence of art and psychoanalysis, creativity, aesthetics, and symbolism, as well as the impact of different psychoanalytic theories. This book is a key text for art therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, and students, as well as professionals working in other arts therapies. It covers basic theory and practice, making it a valuable resource for clinicians and students at all levels of training.
