"This fascinating book brings art therapy with children bang up to date. Leading practitioners show how the discipline and its practices have developed and moved into all sectors of health, social and educational provision, and describe innovative practice across the developmental range of childhood and adolescence. The editors and their contributors make important contributions to theory that come alive through moving and thoughtful casework. Together they make a significant contribution to the evidence base of art therapy with children and adolescence." – Andrea Gilroy, Reader in Art Psychotherapy, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK"I would recommend this book as a timely expansion of research into art therapy, but also as a useful reference point for dramatherapists, who will find many of the skills described as transferable." - Ann Dix, Dramatherapy, Vol. 30, No. 2, Autumn 2008
