DBT-Informed Art Therapy: Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and the Creative Process

I am so glad this book exists! As a beginning art therapist working at a DBT-based residential program, this resource is exactly what I was looking for. DBT can be so overwhelming when you first dive in and I needed the extra help. There is a detailed explanation of DBT that is actually comprehensible for anyone who struggles with Linehan's writing style (I know I do). There are dozens of activities included right in the book with the objectives and DBT skills explained for each one. I am writing my own six-month curriculum from scratch and this book has been a lifesaver.

So few books out there incorporating DBT with art therapy. Clark provides great insight not just on using DBT in art therapy but applying the principles of practice as well. I will continue to reference this book. I work with teenage girls in crisis and DBT is so helpful; combined with art making they learn skills hands on without it feeling like therapy at all. Looking forward to more work by Clark in the future.

Gift.

Wonderful book with both a grounded theoretical approach and LOTS of specific interventions.

Book itself is very helpful for art therapist trying to incorporate dbt, book itself came damaged which was disapointing.

Exactly what I needed

great

Arrived in poor condition. Binding ripped and pages dirty

Very clear and succinct. Interesting and explained well with descriptive examples which are underpinned with theory. Very helpful in explaining in easy to read language what art therapy through the DBT lens looks like.

Integra varias disciplinas, torna o olhar mais amplo e preparado para cuidar do outro. Vale a pena ler e indicar

I am not a councilor but I am in DBT. I want to decide if I wanted to add art therapy to my treatment. Really, I wanted to know what to expect and this was the only one i could find. Very educational

Excellent book

Sorry about the one star but this is not my cup of tea, I can’t really review it as it was bought as a gift for my daughter who, I might add would have thoroughly enjoyed it and found it most helpful
