"Art Therapy for Children of
All Ages" By Herbert I. Abrams, Ph.D. and Heather E. Pearman, M.A. $50.00 each plus postage & sales tax
Within the pages of this book, you will find the means to create attractive and meaningful art projects for children of all ages.
One might even compare it to a cookbook for therapists because each project is presented in the same form as a recipe. This, we
trust, will make each project easy to follow as prepared or to adapt as desired. If you are a seasoned art therapist, you will
find these projects a useful addition to your repertory. For the newer therapist, this book can be used as a springboard to
experiencing art therapy and discovering your own application and style. Each activity provides a medium for use with children
aged five through adult.
Twenty-seven projects are presented in an at-a-glance format. Each project provides the purpose for the project, material list,
directions, follow up, and some considerations for interpretation. The projects are organized into four categories; icebreakers,
building self-esteem, identifying emotions, and identifying support groups.
