Moschini has a BFA in art and design from California Institute of the Arts and an MA in clinical art therapy from Loyola Marymount University. She has been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1992 and is the owner of Drawing-the-Line Seminars \u0026amp; Consulting (www.drawing-the-line.net), which specializes in the blending of the arts and psychotherapy. She presently resides in Santa Barbara, California.  Using art therapy to enhance traditional therapy  \u003cp\u003eArt has its own power to tap into a basic part of the human psyche, opening a nonverbal line of communication between artist and viewer, or client and therapist. In some cases where language is a limiting factor, art-making has great potential for therapeutic progress by giving the client another means of expression. Drawing the Line: Art Therapy with the Difficult Client introduces mental health professionals of all backgrounds and experience levels to the power of art and its use with your clients.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat defines \"the difficult client\"? Each therapist may give a different answer: the child who refuses to talk, the rapist who denies responsibility for his actions, the adult victim of psychotic hallucinations, to name just a few possibilities. Drawing the Line covers both relevant theoretical constructs of psychotherapy and practical solutions for assessment and treatment. Yet what really brings the text alive are the numerous case history reviews—including many sample artworks—taken from the author's sixteen years of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing the Line also features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of a wide spectrum of \"difficult\" clients, from children and adolescents through adults\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase studies from a similarly diverse population\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresentation of a variety of useful assessments, approaches, theoretical applications, and diagnostic categories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn accompanying CD that includes full-color pictures and modeling for therapist and client\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to being an excellent educational tool for students, Drawing the Line is an essential, practically oriented guide for any mental health professional interested in incorporating art therapy into their practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989084782821,"sku":"NP9780471687733","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471687733.jpg?v=1761782733","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/drawing-the-line-isbn-9780471687733","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
