Art therapy is one of the few psychotherapeutic services to which people with learning difficulties have access. Drawing on Difference brings together art therapists from a variety of professional settings to give an introduction to the issues they face in their work and to the diversity of art therapy being conducted with people who have learning difficulties.
The contributors discuss:
the practical challenges of providing an art therapy service within and beyond the hospital setting
clinical case studies with clients who have differing skills and needs
the similarities and differences betwen art therapy and allied professions such as music and dramatherapy
clinical effectiveness and clinical supervision.
Drawing on Difference is essential reading for both practising and trainee art therapists, and an invaluable resource for professionals in the allied disciplines of counselling and other arts therapies.
