Art Therapy books and resources

Art therapy is one of the areas in which we are publishing most actively, internationally. The books described below cover both theory and practice, and are intended for the professional art therapist as well as students and researchers. We publish on specific areas of work, such as working with offenders (more titles in this general area of work can be found on our forensic psychotherapy page, as well as more general books by leading edge authors). Art therapy is also covered in our interdisciplinary arts therapies list, and we also publish in the related areas of dramatherapy, playtherapy, storymaking, dance and movement therapy and music therapy.
