Review:

“The Art of Art Therapy is renewed and significantly advanced by this revised edition, a text that is aligned with the whole spectrum of theory and practice. Rubin, a historic and current leader in the field, holds the complexities of art therapy and presents the discipline in an accessible way, modeling the thoughtfulness and creativity that she encourages when working with others.” - Shaun McNiff, Lesley University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

“Clear, accessible, and informative, The Art of Art Therapy illuminates the process of art therapy.   Its influence will extend to a whole new generation of practitioners and students, who will find a wealth of knowledge within its pages.” - Joy Schaverien, Jungian Analyst, UK

"Dr. Rubin connects with the needs and questions of readers encountering art therapy for the first time, or revisiting it with new inquiries about its essential, enduring elements. She sorts out the common threads of the field’s many developments since the first publication of her classic text and guides the reader further into well-grounded, responsible practice.” - Lynn Kapitan, Mount Mary College, USA

“Judith Rubin describes the core features of art therapy practice. Her straightforward, lucid style of writing serves to illuminate the timeless principles and practices of the effective art therapist. Deceptively simple in approach, the book mines the richness of the field to reveal its essence.” - Catherine Hyland Moon, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA
