Product Description

Product Description

A growing number of art therapists are trained also in group analytic psychotherapy. This book explores the theories and models for practice arising from the merging of these two disciplines. Contributors ask whether a model can be applied universally to art therapy group work with diverse client groups. They present in-depth case studies looking at work with the following: children; drug and alcohol abusers; forensic patients; patients on acute psychiatric wards; the cognitively-impaired elderly; and institutionalized patients moving into the community. A common theme which emerges is that the physical use of art materials and the space of the art room offer a possibility for communication of feelings which is not possible in purely verbal groups. This allows clients who would not normally be considered for group therapy to benefit from a psychodynamic group process.


From the Back Cover

Presenting an accessible and engaging account of the challenges encountered in art psychotherapy practice, this book explores new theoretical material arising from the merging of art and group psychotherapy. The contributors present in-depth discussion of case studies with client groups such as children, forensic patients, patients on acute psychiatric wards, the cognitively impaired elderly, institutionalized patients moving into the community and drug and alcohol abusers.
A common theme which emerges from the book is that the physical use of art materials and the space of the art room offer a possibility for communication of feelings which is not possible in purely verbal groups. This allows clients with severe mental health problems, and groups who would not normally be considered for purely verbal group therapy, to benefit from a psychodynamic group process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and comprehensive overview of art therapy groups, 12 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Art Psychotherapy in Groups: Between Pictures and Words (Hardcover)
This is a well written book which fills a gap in the market and would be a welcome addition to any art therapist's bookshelf. The book presents a collection of writings by art therapists working with groups in a wide range of settings. The client groups comprise: school children; forensic patients; in-patients on acute psychiatric wards; elderly people with cognitive impairment; alcohol and drug users; patients moving out of institutions into the community and groups with art therapy students.

The editors point out that the development of group analytic psychotherapy has greatly influenced practice in the UK. Skaife and Huet encourage us to consider some of the issues arising from the combination of art making as a 'creative, healing activity' and verbal interaction, the 'stuff of verbal psychotherapy groups'. This is explored further in their own chapter about a group.

Each chapter, written by a different author, stands alone in its own right and what comes across is how different the work is, depending on the client group and setting. All the authors refer to psychoanalytical concepts which inform their work, such as 'holding', 'containment', 'transference', 'countertransference' and 'projective identification'.

I chose this book because I wanted to learn more about groups and I assumed from the date of publication that I could read about latest trends and modern thinking. I was not disappointed; the book offers a good insight into how art psychotherapists are currently working and thinking. They share their expertise and ways of working generously and are open about struggles. The case material described is often moving.

What comes across from the whole book is how much art therapy groups can offer people who would be unable to take much advantage of verbal therapy groups. It is also well illustrated with relevant images.
