Description

"Group Analytic Art Therapy provides readers with a practical and theoretical framework for using group art therapy in a range of settings. Based on over 20 years' experience of conducting group art therapy, this book is packed with suggestions for practice and explanatory diagrams. The author, internationally renowned psychotherapist Gerry McNeilly, explores the dynamics and psychological effects of diverse group situations based on examples from his own clinical practice. This book offers an illuminating insight into McNeilly's theories and practical applications of group art therapy in the context of significant developments in the field. Group Analytic Art Therapy is both a comprehensive reference and an inspiring text for practising and trainee art therapists, psychotherapists and group therapists."--From cover.
