Review
"'Liesl Silverstone's new book...is the outcome of a personal and professional life dedicated to the celebration of the imagination and to an unshakeable belief in the resilience of the human spirit...readers will find a veritable cornucopia of exercises which have the potential to open up new vistas and to inspire imaginative journeys of great richness... Simply to read them is itself a voyage of discovery but for many trainers and therapists they will constitute a repertoire on which they can draw as from an inexhaustible well.' --- From the Foreword by Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia."

Art Therapy Exercises: Inspirational Practical ideas to stimulate the Imagination
This book is a readable introduction into the application of art therapy exercises with a brief outline of who the exercises might benefit. It's main theme invites us to explore our imaginations in a relaxed and un-interrupted way through guided visualisations which allow us to see what we would naturally see. It paints a gentle view of how art therapy can be applied using creative thought and creative application. It is not about finding answers or solving personal problems; it is about exploring the self through creativity in order to look at or reveal what lies beneath.
