Knill. The book serves as a practical manual for students and practitioners, emphasizing session design, ethical facilitation, and the therapist’s role as an active tool in guiding artistic exploration. Essex integrates clinical, pedagogical, and apprenticeship experiences to ground theory in practice, particularly advocating against the premature interpretation of client artwork. While the text occasionally broadens into philosophical discussions, its primary value lies in offering a structured, lineage-based approach to expressive arts therapy for graduate students, early-career therapists, and educators. pubtype: Review doctype: book review pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
