Reviews

"""This innovative second edition comes at a time when understanding the transformative potential of neuroaesthetics on healing is paramount. This edition delves into neuroplasticity, neuroscience-informed art therapy, and the artmaking process, illuminating the profound impact that art can have on the brain and well-being of individuals who have experienced trauma. ""This innovative second edition comes at a time when understanding the transformative potential of neuroaesthetics on healing is paramount. This edition delves into neuroplasticity, neuroscience-informed art therapy, and the artmaking process, illuminating the profound impact that art can have on the brain and well-being of individuals who have experienced trauma. As the field of art therapy and behavioural health continue to make strides in understanding the neurobiological grounds of artmaking and its many therapeutic benefits, this new edition masterfully synthesizes cutting-edge research with practical perspectives that are relevant and relatable, making it an indispensable resource. The authors have provided an insightful understanding of how art therapy can effectively address and heal trauma at a neurological level emphasizing valuable insights on art, trauma, and the brain. Readers are provided rich case studies and techniques that will equip clinicians to deepen their understanding and enhance therapeutic outcomes across various settings. I am honored to endorse this edition and commend the authors for their continued and invaluable contributions to the field."" Lindsey D. Vance, ATR-BC, LPC, arts innovation manager in the Office of Teaching and Learning, District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington DC ""King and Strang brilliantly set new horizons in the growing and robust landscape where neuroscience meets art therapy. The first edition of this book transformed the art therapy profession. Its neuroscientific discussion supported art therapy practices that struggled for decades for validation. This second edition unpacks the most recent, groundbreaking research. Theory and evidence-based findings are intertwined effectively to explore the impact of art therapy interventions on diverse populations in novel settings. Clinicians and researchers will welcome this second edition with as much enthusiasm and gratitude as we had for the first edition."" Marygrace Berberian, PhD, LCAT, ATR-BC, LCSW, director of the New York University Graduate Art Therapy Program ""This new edition delves further into brain function, dysfunction, and amelioration by embracing state-of-the-art diagnostics and proposing integration with art therapy practice. As it is essential to understand medical diagnoses and psychological issues, it is also critical to understand neurological etiologies and their implication in order to refine clinical interventions. Since the last publication, scientific fields have illuminated neuronal activity and re-generation enabling a more focused art therapy approach with complex brain injured clients. The editors and contributors provide invaluable perspectives to inform our work, enhance our treatment of trauma and optimize outcomes."" Irene Rosner David, PhD, ATR-BC, LCAT, HLM ""This new edition offers an in-depth understanding of the application of science to art therapy and the treatment of trauma. The authors build on prior concepts and forge new pathways to demonstrate effective art therapy treatment. The case examples translate theory to practice with a variety of treatment issues."" Linda Chapman, MA, retired art therapist"
