She was a pioneer, exploring art as therapy (which we now take for granted), at a time when this thought was innovative and original. She furthered the discussion of various ways to use art therapy and she has maintained a steady and invested interest in the development of the field. This book is a must-read for anyone who desires a strong and substantive foundation to the development and growth of the field of art therapy. Her latest efforts in chronicling art therapists around the world ‘doing’ the work as well as honoring the vast contributions of Fred Rogers, are a testimony to her ongoing wish to push art therapy forward.”— Eliana Gil, Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery \u0026amp; Education\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988911603941,"sku":"NP9780471679912","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471679912.jpg?v=1761782020","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/child-art-therapy-isbn-9780471679912","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
