Review
'During the thirty years of the Hospice and Palliative Care Movement, skills have been gained in helping with the expression of questions and of helping people to search within themselves ... nowhere has this been seen move vividly than in art therapy, either in groups or individually. Healing, a new discovery of wholeness has come through honesty unleashed in this way ... in these descriptions of the different spheres of such work we are reminded once again of the resilience and originality of the human spirit.' -
Dame Cecily Saunders, Chairman, St Christopher's Hospice, London'This book on art therapy in palliative care outlines an invaluable approach which must be seen for what it is: an essential part of any palliative care service and a healing skill that intertwines with other traditional medical interventions in palliative care.' -

Review
""I am delighted to find a book by other art therapists who work with the type of population I serve, cancer patients and their families. . .The history, qualifications, settings, and focus of the British approach to art therapy and palliative care are contrasted with those of other nations, not for the purpose of comparing the quality of care, but to encourage better care of the dying throughout the world." --Pat Lynn Moses, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center, OK for the "American Journal of Art Therapy, August 2000."
