Healing Art and Young People by Trevor Jeavons
Including examples from his work with young patients with his professional and personal conclusions, the author draws on his years of experience working with 'unhappy' children and adults to show that his individual approach can help young people to make sense of their lives and develop the strength to cope with their particular problems.
"Trevor Jeavons is truly one of the pioneers in the development of art therapy as a professionHe was one of the first qualified art therapists to work in the area of special needs education, contributing to both research and practice in the field.
