Dr Sherwood's innovative text adds holistic, therapeutic depth and breadth to classical CBT through introducing specific, replicable and evaluable sequences of steps drawn from the creative art therapies, incorporating mediums of sand, colour, drama, clay and play. Client transformations are advanced through working with these expressive therapeutic materials within a CBT framework. This excellent book is highly recommended for members of the healing professions in general and counselling psychologists in particular.
I enjoyed this book. It is written in a straightforward, readable style, without too much jargon, and the instructions for the exercises are clear and easy to follow. I think it would be useful for any counsellor wanting an easy 'How to...' addition to their library that helps incorporate art activities in their work.
