Book excerpt: "SoulCollageTM is a process through which you contact your intuition and create an incredible deck of cards which have deep personal meaning and which will help you with life's questions. Following the simple SoulCollage directions, your hands move fragments of cut-out magazine pictures around, fitting them together in a surprising new way and gluing them down on a card. Cards containing the images you select -- or the images that select you -- come straight through your Soul, bypassing the mind. This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. All you need is a good pair of scissors, pre-cut mat board cards, glue, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. It is wonderful to have other people with whom to share the process. The cards are fun to take to a friend's house, to work with in therapy or support groups, or to keep on your coffee table."--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professionals working in a range of clinical settings are regularly called upon to work with angry clients, and they may find their skills and resources for working with this powerful emotion limited.

Marian Liebmann argues that clients of all ages will benefit from the art-making process, which helps them to slow down and consider their emotions more calmly. The tangible product of their efforts allows clients to assess and react to what they have depicted, providing a lucid and safe framework for better understanding the causes and effects of their anger. This book draws together contributions from art therapists who work in a wide variety of contexts, including work with offenders, mental health clients, clients with brain injury and those with cancer, with the view of helping clients to manage their anger more constructively. This positive, practical volume will be of great interest to art therapists and students, as well as practitioners working with angry clients in various fields such as mental health, probation, counselling and medicine.

Book Synopsis Art Therapy Activities by : Pamela J. Stack
Download or read book Art Therapy Activities written by Pamela J. Stack and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elementary school art education workbook presents activities and lesson plans that encourage, stimulate and facilitate creative expression. The author shows how to use art in a more meaningful way than usual in the elementary school setting. Rejecting the product-oriented approach, she details instead a method that helps the child explore who he or she really is, to accept that person, and to change and grow. While the book is light-hearted - not at all the ponderous tome its purpose may suggest - it does indeed show how to promote therapeutic expression and how to use art to deal with problems and meet psychological needs. The activities are geared toward these ends. Divided into three sections, they focus on awareness of self, others and the environment; acceptance; and experimentation and exploration. The lesson plans provided within these sections have been tested and proven successful. They provide information on materials and tools, procedures, directions, goals, target populations, evaluation, resources and notes. A final section contains miscellaneous materials valuable in conducting group art therapy sessions.
