Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book brings together the voices of international art therapists with diverse backgrounds and experiences and asks them to consider the role of postmodernism in their understanding of art therapy.

This book is an important addition to art therapy theory and will be a crucial text for all art therapy students, academics, researchers and practitioners.
