Book synopsis

'The purpose of this book is to answer the question, 'What is postmodernism and what does it mean for art therapists?' If we were to shine art therapy through a prism, what would it do?' "Creative Healing Through a Prism" brings together the work of international art therapists with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. These practitioners, however, share a common postmodern belief that art is a unique way of expressing and mediating the human condition and that art therapy should not be a diagnostic tool but a collaborative healing process between the therapist and the client. With detailed case studies throughout and methods of inquiry that draw on psychotherapy, aesthetics and philosophy, this book is a comprehensive exploration of art therapy from a postmodernist perspective in clinical practice, on a community and global level, in research, and in epistemology. This book is an important contribution to art therapy theory and will be a crucial text for all art therapy students, academics, researchers and practitioners.
