Psychodynamic Art Therapy Practice with People on the Autistic Spectrum offers a valuable counterbalance to the phenomenological, cognitive and behavioural theories that currently prevail in the wider field of practice and research. The result of a decade of work by a group of highly experienced art therapists, this book presents eight frank and compelling accounts of art therapy with either adults or children with autism, supported by a discussion of the relevant theory. The book begins with an overview of the theoretical context and the subsequent chapters give varied accounts of practitioners’ experiences structured in a loose developmental arc, reflecting issues that may arise in different settings and at various stages of therapy. Each is followed by an afterword which describes the author’s reflections in the light of their subsequent knowledge and experience. The conclusion brings together some of the common threads arising from their encounters and considers how these might be relevant to current and continuing art therapy practice in the field of autism. Psychodynamic Art Therapy Practice with People on the Autistic Spectrum is a thoughtful consideration of where art therapy meets autism and the particular challenges that arise in the encounter between the autistic client and the therapist.Presenting honest reflections arising from lived encounters and highlighting general principles and experiences, this book aims to orient other practitioners who work with people on the autistic spectrum, in particular art therapists and art therapy trainees.

This book will help you understand the changing narrative around how we support neurodivergent individuals, how to sit with complex thoughts and feelings you may have, and how to grow your capacity to unlearn, adapt and shift your values and practice.This essential guide considers what neurodiversity is and what it means to practice in a neurodiversity-affirming way, considering why we should be doing so and, importantly, how to do it. The book moves through the context of neurodiversity in recent times and considers key historical approaches within speech and language therapy. Chapters offer space for reflective practice based on what we know now, for both individual reflection and with colleagues as part of a wider team, before introducing practical strategies to challenge and change how we work with neurodivergent individuals. Throughout, the voices of autistic and ADHD SLTs are included and amplified, sharing their lived experiences and perspectives to further support teams to develop neurodiversity-informed practice.This book offers a safe and supportive space to explore a topic that can be uncomfortable and scary but must be delved into to provide neurodivergent people with access to therapists with knowledge, skills, and advocacy approaches to best meet their needs.
