Working with Children in Art Therapy is a collection of ten generously illustrated papers by experienced art therapists, each working within a specialized field but also as a part of professional team. Each paper shows how the art process, in a sensitive therapeutic relationship, can reveal both the inner world of the child and his or her experiences of the outer world, offering another language in which to express feelings about whatever has brought the child to therapy. Contributions include the experience of working with children in psychiatric clinics, the practice of art therapy in mainstream and special schools, work with abused children, and the language of art therapy and non-verbal communication.

Groupwork in Social Care: Planning and Setting Up Groups
by Julie Phillips
 

 

Book Description:
In this extremely practical guide, Julie Phillips argues that preparation is the most important element in running successful groups, and explores the issues that practitioners should address. She demonstrates how to prepare effectively, drawing on eight extended case studies with a variety of groups ranging from a positive parenting group to an anger management group. She examines the initial decisions that must be made such as determining the size, purpose and goals of a group, and finding an appropriate meeting place. Anti-discriminatory practice, with an emphasis on power, race and gender issues, is highlighted as a fundamental consideration in planning a group. Phillips underpins her recommendations for practice with the theories behind groupwork and includes frameworks for analyzing the effectiveness of group programs. Groupwork in Social Care will be essential reading for students and qualified professionals working in the fields of occupational therapy, youth work, social work, probation and community mental health nursing.
