[Nabil Ali Nasr]

The book contain a great collection of games and examples of games and activities with instructions. It is a good source of inspiration and a good reference. I enjoyed most of the book, sometimes I got bored, but mainly the book is interesting for those interested in initiating group activities.

A must-read in order to get an idea of how to put together an art (therapy) workshop for a group.

کتابی پایه ای در زمینه هنردرمانی ست که تقریبا بصورت متعادلی به طرح مباحث نظری و عملی هنر درمانی پرداخته است و باید آن را دم دست نگاه داشت تا در وقت مقتضی از تمرین های آن استفاده کرد. با این حال به عقیده من قدری قدیمی است و به احتمال زیاد کتاب های بهتری هم در زمینه هنر درمانی برای ترجمه شدن وجود دارد. از این کتاب بیشتر می توانید به عنوان یک راهنمای عملی بهره بجویید تا راهنمای مباحث نظری این رشته.

This book is OK if you like COOKBOOKS! Lets just say, it is a good reference but it does not provide much theory or reasoning. It details possible experiencials for different populations of clients. This could be useful to spur ideas but it is not a book to rely on.

[Miranda Ash]

This is my bible for planning group sessions at my group for adults with mental health challenges. Always find something in here of value when stumped for ideas. Great book!

[Blackbook]

Updated version. Good info. Practical.

Kindle Edition.

Useful for beginners without imagination...
There were a few good exercises, but the rest were just subtle variations of those few.
Not impressed.

[Aretena]

This is very useful book for any kind of art therapy. There are detailed examples for work with people with different diseases.
