On Art and Therapy by Martina Thomson

Using the fact that painting, drawing and modelling have healing effects on people, this book shows the role of the art therapist and how they should return to a trust in the therapeutic value of the creative process itself, rather than discussing the images produced. Drawing on her memories of working with E.M.Lydiatt, one of the pioneers, and on her own experience as a painter and as an art therapy practitioner, her argument includes observation, speculation, case history and quotation from artists, poets and psychoanalysts.
