Reviews

Trevor Jeavons is truly one of the pioneers in the development of art therapy as a profession. He was one of the first qualified art therapists to work in the area of special needs education, contributing to both research and practice in the field. His years of experience and wisdom have found a distillation in this book. I hope that the reader will be inspired by what it contains in the way that the profession has been inspired through Trevor's life-long contribution. Dr. Janek Dubowski, Head of Subject for Psychological Therapies, School of Human and Life Sciences, Roehampton University, London. Lovely book, a little pearl... and I can't wait for my students to get hold of it. Vibeka Skov, Clinical Psychologist, artist and author. Director of 'Institute of Art Therapy', Gadbjerg, Denmark and 'School of Art Therapy', Trondheim, Norway. The man is a breath of fresh air - sincerity oozes out of him. Thank you. Art therapy student, University of Ulster. ...You have made a tremendous contribution to the field of art and self expression for the disabled. Maria O'Brien, Senior Occupational Therapist, Spastics Welfare League, Brisbane, Australia. Trevor is a skilled and communicative therapist. I enjoyed his enthusiasm. Prof Menehem Granoff, Tel Aviv, Chairman, The Association for the Advancement of Play in Israel. Yours was an excellent workshop Trevor. Edith Kramer, Pioneer American Art Therapist/Author. I have seen many children over the years who had benefited greatly from art therapy. There were many times when you saved me when I got stuck with some children who would not open up or bring down the barriers in my sessions. Art therapy is an essential part of a child and adolescent mental health service in my view. Dr Kusay Hadi, Clinical Director, Consultant Child Psychiatrist. Dear Trevor, Thank you for being one of the presenting speakers. Your words and the passion you feel and radiate about art therapy were both inspirational and motivating... Suzanne Toal-Maas, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
