Trade Review"Both Student and Professional art therapists can be enriched byingesting and assimilating Harriet Wadeson's smorgasbord of currentart therapy practice. It should also be helpful to those in otherdisciplines who want to know what goes on in the work of arttherapists. Indeed, this book offers any reader an opportunity to"taste" well-chosen samples of art therapy in action" (AmericanJournal of Art Therapy, Vol. 39, No. 4, May 2001)
"Art Therapy Practice is a useful addition to the existingliterature on arttherapy.
