Introduction to Art Therapy: Sources and Resources, is the thoroughly updated and revised second edition of Judith Rubins landmark 1999 text, the first to describe the history of art in both assessment and therapy, and to clarify the differences between artists or teachers who provide ""therapeutic"" art activities, psychologists or social workers who request drawings, and those who are trained as art therapists to do a kind of work which is similar, but qualitatively different. This new edition contains downloadable resources with over 400 still images and 250 edited video clips for much richer illustration than is possible with figures alone; an additional chapter describing the work that art therapists do; and new material on education with updated information on standards, ethics, and informing others. To further make the information accessible to practitioners, students, and teachers, the author has included a section on treatment planning and evaluation, an updated list of resources  selected professional associations and proceedings  references, expanded citations, and clinical vignettes and illustrations. Three key chapters describe and expand the work that art therapists do: ""People We Help,"" deals with all ages; ""Problems We Treat,"" focuses on different disorders and disabilities; and ""Places We Practice,"" reflects the expansion of art therapy beyond its original home in psychiatry. The authors own introduction to the therapeutic power of art  as a person, a worker, and a parent  will resonate with both experienced and novice readers alike. Most importantly, however, this book provides a definition of art therapy that contains its history, diversity, challenges, and accomplishments.
