Dance and Other Expressive Art Therapies Reviews

"It is a thought-provoking, eye-opening picture of therapeutic possibilities for a daring, courageous counselor who is willing to be forever vigilant, forever learning, forever present. This book belongs on any counselor's shelf as a resource, packed full of information, insight, and creative ideas to enhance the therapeutic process--even for those counselors who would never dare to explore movement with their clients." -- The Advocate
"Anyone interested in psychology and creativity must read this book ... the treatment of Sue and Jon, two blind children; Warren, an autistic child; and Sandra, a sexually abused little girl, are just three of the unforgettable cases." -- Dr. Robert W. Siroka, Director, Psychodrama Training Institute, NY
"a compassionate and compelling portrayal of human problems and the methods used to resolve them. The authors ... describe countless creative approaches. All inspire meaningful expression and revelation." -- Dr. Robert Landy, Director of Drama Therapy, NYU
