Summary: "The first book to be solely dedicated to illustrating the incorporation of craft materials and methods into art therapy theory and practice, Craft in Art Therapy emphasizes how craft can support contemporary issues in the field of art therapy. Contributors provide examples of how art therapists integrate a range of crafts including ceramics, glass work, textiles, paper, leatherwork, and woodwork, in addition to self-care and art therapy practice with individuals, group, and communities. Chapters explore the therapeutic benefits of this range of craft materials and media, as well as craft's potential to build community, to support individuals in caring for themselves and each other, and to play a valuable role in art therapy practice. Care is taken to explore craft's accessibility and culturally-resonance for marginalized groups, demonstrating how to engage in art therapy with social justice aims. Art therapists will learn culturally-sensitive and socially-conscientious craft methods to help them widen their conceptions of what they can use in practice"-- Provided by publisher.
