Each chapter is enriched with case illustrations to provide a greater depth of understanding of how the methods are used in clinical practice.This book is an incomparable overview of the value and diverse uses of the creative arts in the treatment of EDs, and it will be of interest to all arts therapists, psychodrama therapists, family therapists, as well as students of these disciplines.
