Abstract

I was excited when this book arrived for me to review. At last, I thought, a book that will increase art therapists clinical credence, scientifically researched evidence to give us knowledge and skills to underpin our understanding. My interest in clinical neuroscience spans many years, and I use this understanding to conceptualise meaning in the sometimes difficult to understand communications that the client/patient brings to the therapy room. On reading, I discover the various chapters give detailed theoretical understanding of brain regions, how neural pathways grow and connect, and how we might use this understanding to help our art therapy patients.
