This book was so wonderful. I didn't read from cover to cover, instead i looked for ideas and inspiration. It made me very interested in art therapy, and it is definitely something i'd own. it gave me so many ideas for projects, and ways to make myself happy when i'm sad. it was just what i needed today. if you're interested at ALL in art therapy, give this book a look.
