Pick Up Art Therapy And Psychology: A Step-by-Step Guide For Practitioners Created By Robert Gray Provided As Digital

book is a succinct and inviting introduction to the realm of art therapy, specifically as it pertains to psychology.
Structured in chapters that expose different art therapy activities that can be practiced by the reader, in groups, or with clients, the book serves well to illuminate how and why art therapy should be incorporated by those wishing to deepen and expand our understanding of ourselves.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Robert Gray offers a thorough and wellrounded clinical guide to exploring the depth of the unconscious through art in psychotherapy.
He emphasises the clinical relevance of art therapy and critically highlights ideas around evidencebased practice and the link to cognitive behavioural therapy.
Gray suggests specific ways of engaging with clients and their images, such as uncovering life scripts, changing neural pathways through Creative Mind Ordering, and addressing traumatic experiences through the Jungian Self Box.
He shows how artists and psychotherapists can make a transformational difference by combining 'art as therapy' and 'art in therapy' with a scientific approach and a spiritual awareness.
He argues a clear framework that bridges the unmeasurable and spontaneous part of psychotherapy through art, along with the work with the unconscious and the clarity of a scientific method, can help facilitate long term change.
