This compilation delivers concise explanations and examples of recent research in the field of Art Therapy. Both case studies and Art Therapist’s works are illustrated. It is not very necessary to have a background in psychology or neuroscience–as biological terms are defined in a comprehensible way. Black and White illustrations. Fascinating for the creative psychologist.

I believe that the book is very interesting and informative of Clinical Neuroscience. I found it interesting to see how the book combined Neuroscience and Art Therapy by describing the parts of the brain that were active during certain art tasks and human emotion. It was a great purchase.
