Studio Art Therapy: Cultivating the Artist Identity in the Art Therapist (Arts Therapies)

I use this book as a text in our first year course on techniques because it provides a complex, yet very engaging and accessible image of practice in art therapy. Every fall I feel so grateful that Cathy did the hard work of bringing this image to life for those in and outside of our professional field. It helps my students think about our work at a higher level of critical understanding and helps them develop into well acclimated art therapists.

This book was required for my art therapy studio course. It was very relevant to the course material and assignments and an interesting read. Although I purchased it for academic purposes, it read like a novel captivating my interest and creativity. This book is a valuable edition to my library and I'm sure that I will refer back to it in the future.

The highest compliment I can give an author is to say I wish could write the same way as they do. Her style is clear, simple and unpretentious, and yet expresses the power of her thoughts , feelings and beliefs.I bought this book in order to research this field and was very happy with it.

I ordered this book for an art therapy class. Its not the best book I've ever read but I certainly count it among the interesting and useful.

Great read. It is a required text for one of my classes. Came on time and as expected.

Loved this book and it arrived in perfect condition

Was a gift

I bought this for work per my boss' request. I have a master's degree in art therapy and have been practicing for 6 years. This book at this point for me is only a review of everything I studied and wrote papers on and discussed at length while in school. I think this book is appropriate as an art therapy textbook or for new practitioners or those who are unfamiliar with this style of art therapy.

Rekindles the important conversation I have been having with myself on and off for over 10 years: how to balance artist identity with art therapist...

Very helpful to art therapy student
