Using art therapy with diverse populations : crossing cultures and abilities
Howie, P (ed)
Using art therapy with diverse populations : crossing cultures and abilities - London Jessica Kingsley Publishers 2013
This book considers how culture impacts the practice of art therapy in a variety of settings and helps art therapists understand the importance of practicing in a culturally sensitive manner. With contributions from experienced art therapists who have worked in diverse environments, this book attempts to understand and highlight the specific cultural, subcultural and ethnic influences that inform art therapy treatment. It addresses variable factors including setting, population, environment and ability, and how they influence art therapy approaches. It also considers how cultural differences can impact physical art making through choices of colour, symbol and metaphor.
