Introduction to Art Therapy in Palliative Care

This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the practice and results of art therapy in palliative care. It includes first-hand accounts from both therapists and clients in a variety of palliative care settings including:

• hospices and hospitals
• patients' own homes
• prisons (AIDS patients)
• adolescent griefwork groups

These case studies include examples of client artwork and illustrate clearly how art therapy can allow patients to regain feelings of control over their lives.
