This practical resource shows how all clinicians can expand and enhance their work with children by incorporating drawing into therapy. The book allows therapists to examine the multidimensional aspects of children's art without resorting to simplistic explanations. Approaching drawing as a springboard for communication and change, Malchiodi offers rich guidelines for understanding the complex messages included in children's drawings and the art-making process. Covered topics include how to help children create art, which questions to ask and when, and how to motivate children who are initially reluctant to draw. Recommending extensive research and clinical experience, the book includes over 100 examples of children's work.
