Reviews
Carol Ross has produced a compact and easily assimilatable book of activities and interventions using an art therapy approach. The text is copiously illustrated with examples of art work produced by children involved in the project. Clearly identifiable as a 'what to do' and 'how to do it' manual, the book is likely to be of appeal to busy professionals desirous of accessing the ideas without ploughing through pages of dense print. The book deserves support for the variety of ideas presented [...] many of which may be useful to counsellors and therapists. -- Psychotherapy and Counselling This collection of materials would be an excellent addition to the resources of all primary, special and secondary schools in promoting the personal and social development of children and young people. -- Jean French, Adviser for Personal, Social and Health Education, Islington. Perhaps the greatest strength of Something to Draw On is its broad applicability to children of varying abilities, and with differing problems. She suggests that activities for the entire class use a thematic, curricular context. The author's work in schools clearly demonstrates the value of art therapy for all children, regardless of whether or not they have been identified as having emotional problems. Something to Draw On is a practical resource, useful to both art therapists and others, such as educators and counsellors, who are seeking alternative methods of working with students, as well as trying to determine the role of art therapy in schools. Ross's approach is to integrate art therapy into the educational curriculum, thereby promoting the use of art therapy to deal with a wide spectrum of problems. -- American Journal Of Art Therapy Something to Draw On could be used as dip-into book for any professional carer -- Inscape
