Review
This book would be of interest to counsellors and therapists who would like to integrate creative therapies into their current practice, but were not introduced to this approach in their initial training. It would also be inspiring for practitioners who are already using one of these areas, say art imaging, and would like to be introduced to the possibilities of seeing the links with other forms of self-expression. --Pat Havell, BACP North London Magazine, 2004
