Description

Diane Waller presents the first theoretical formulation of a model which effectively integrates the change-enhancing factors of both group psychotherapy and art therapy. Drawing on her wide experience as an art psychotherapist and a group therapist, she shows how this model works in practice through a series of illustrated case examples of a variety of client and training groups from different societies and cultures.

Reviews

`Good at demystifying complicated processes and accessible to people with limited experience and knowledge of the subject.' - Association of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Review and Newsletter

`Lucid step-by-step account of how psychoanalytic theory can be applied to art therapy … clear account of how the interactive model of group psychotherapy has developed … demonstrates clearly how individuals in the groups and groups as whole units learn from dealing with issues such as hierarchy, competition, ambivalence, hostility, male-female power and roles assigned and assured in the process of making art objects and discussing their meanings.' - Reflections

`Valuable insight into creative approaches with various client groups … concise and comprehensive.' - A Thompson, Home Tuition Service, Manchester
