Foreword, Gerald D. Oster. Foreword, Cathy Malchiodi. Introduction. 1. Integrating developmental theories and art expressions. 2. Adolescent group treatment. 3. Adolescence, depression and the impact of societal issues. 4. Severely damaged adolescents in residential and therapeutic school settings. 5. Adolescents and their families. 6. How therapists get tangled up in adolescent treatment. 7. Short-term, solution-focused art therapy treatment. Appendix. Bibliography. Index.
Drawing on her wealth of experience in art therapy, Shirley Riley's refreshing approach offers rich accounts of her work with adolescents- her success and also failures.The use of case examples is excellent, and aids the reader in transferring information into the real world.This book would be of great benefit to many clinicians working with adolescents, whether they already use art/creative techniques in their practice, or whether it is a new approach they are considering.
