James W. Pennebaker,
PhD author, Opening Up: The Healing Power
of Expressing Emotion
Since our ancestors
began drawing on cave walls, humans have
intuitively known that expressing
emotions through art was healthy. Now,
20,000 years later, Cathy Malchiodi
brings us a smart overview of the use of
art as a therapeutic tool. In this
concise and easy-to-read book, Malchiodi
treats the reader to fascinating case
studies and valuable pointers in helping
us to open up and explore our nature
creatively. This book is ideally suited
for people beginning to explore art as
self-expression.

Beautifully written
and inspirational, The Art Therapy
Sourcebook makes a major contribution to
art therapy going mainstream. This is the
most accessible and complete art therapy
book ever published. It's a great
achievement for Cathy Malchiodi and for
art therapy.

Throughout history
artistic expression has been recognized
as a catalyst for healing. Art is an
expression of mind and spirit, and cannot
be left out of our equation of healing.
Cathy Malchiodi's fascinating book shows
how modern art therapy is being employed
as a potent healthcare
intervention.

Reader Reviews:
If you want to buy one
book on art therapy, this is the
one
At last there is a
book on art therapy which is clear,
well-written, and comprehensive. If you
want to buy one book on art therapy, this
one is excellent and I cannot recommend
it enough. There are numerous
illustrations, exercises, and examples of
how art therapy can be used for personal
transformation and healing. Also, read
the endorsements, they speak more
eloquently to the book's contents and
inspirational qualities than I can.
