Art Therapy: Theory and Practice demonstrates how art creation in the therapeutic context can facilitate emotional healing, self-awareness, and trauma integration for diverse clinical populations.

The book is structured in three parts. Part I explores the philosophical, psychological, and neurological dimensions of art as therapy. Readers then learn how these principles intersect with various psychological theories to culminate in therapeutic effectiveness. Part II focuses on art therapy in practice, with coverage of how art therapy can be used to treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, autism spectrum disorders, substance and alcohol use, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder. The final part considers professional issues and the future, addressing ethical practice, art therapy in a digital world, and the art-brain connection.
