This book made me fall in love with being an arts therapist all over again. Cathrine Moon’s poetic perspective of the people she works with is truely inspiring. She makes a clear distinction between using art in one’s practice of therapy, and working from an art-based model.
Studio Art Therapy presents a model of art therapy where the products and processes of art constitute the core of the model rather than serving as the impetutus for adaptions of other theories of counselling or therapy. It sees art as the driving force behind therapeutic practices.
It addresses how an arts-based approach can inform the therapist in all aspects of practice, form the conception of the work and the attempt to understand people’s needs to interacting with them and communicating to others about the profession of art therapy.
