Edited by certified specialists in eating disorders, embodiment coaching, and somatic interventions, it defines body image through nine factors and emphasizes the complexity of positive and negative body image experiences. While the book offers a broad range of art therapy directives and case examples across populations such as trauma survivors, veterans, and medical patients, its organization and integration of art therapy with clinical concepts are uneven. The text lacks comprehensive discussion of cultural factors like race, poverty, and accessibility but provides valuable insights for art therapists using body-based and trauma-informed approaches, particularly in medical settings. Overall, it contributes to reframing body image as a fundamental aspect of health relevant to art therapy practice. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
