Breaking the Silence: Art Therapy with Children from Violent Homes
Breaking the Silence: Art Therapy with Children from Violent Homes Books
Product Description
This volume demonstrates the power of art therapy as a tool for intervening with children from violent homes. Emphasis is given to the small-term setting where time is at a premium and circumstances are unpredictable – because within this setting, mental health practitioners often experience a sense of helplessness in their work with the youngest victims of abusive families. In this new edition, the author describes the intervention administer from intake to termination, highlighting the complex issues caught up at various levels of evaluation and interpretation. The text is augmented with 95 children’s drawings, which serve to fill the gap between theory and reality. Specific topics include: inherent frustrations for therapists working in battered women’s shelters; what to include in art evaluation; evaluating child abuse and neglect; group art intervention in shelters; and art expression as assessment and therapy with sexually abused children.
