It's worth enough to read
I'm Thai student of MA program in counseling psychology. I'm also a prationer of creative arts therapy. I found that this book is quite useful for the beginner of art therapy. This book offers many activities, exercises and games which you could adapt it in your own work. So I recommend you to have this book as your material.

In between
Unlike the first 2 reviews of this book, my opinion falls somewhere in between. While this is not the most comprehensive or profound book on art therapy, it is a practical guide for practitioners who need lots of ideas for group activities. How well they work depends on the skills and insight of the group leader, as well as the readiness of the group participants. One of my art therapy students bought this book recently and found it quite useful. For the more advanced practitioner, it might feel a bit too much like a recipe book. I recommend it as one tool in your art therapy toolbox.

Post-It's have taken over cause I bookmarked too many pages.
I own and use this book so often in my Art Therapy groups that this book is flooded with Post It notes. I do adapt most of the activity suggestions to make them fit each client population. The book is flexible and could be applied to youth, teen, or adult/senior populations. It is written and indexed in an easy-to-read manner based on the mode of therapy practiced. The suggestions themselves are general enough however do conveniently elaborate with bullet-marked suggestions for different ways to try out the various activities. So if you think you've worked with clay, perhaps you have not written an acoustic poem about it and then created an environment for the sculpture, etc. Several variations and ideas were new and fresh. Great book for the novice or for the seasoned professional who needs some help getting new ideas sparked up and fueled; a quick, easy (and relatively inexpensive) A.T. reference.

Innuendo, innudeno, innuendo, innuendo......................
Is basically all that this amounts to. Meaning that in other words the whole purpose of this book is based on the most dissolute scam and shouldn't have been written. Because it doesn't reach it's self-proclaimed goals of incriminating Bush on 9/11, oil or Taliban prostitution. In other words, this book is composed directly to slander Bush with the most idiotically far-fetched rumors and prey on the unstable among society, namely anti-war protestors and the left wingers by encouraging their fanatical, foaming-at-the-mouth savagery. Avoid at all costs, unless of course you want to live your live in weighty paranoia, swearing on conspiracy theories and worshipping questionable and unpricipled exploiters ....

Funny how people will take anything you shove at them.......
Allegedly being a best-seller in France, who did everything short of a filibuster to preserve their wickedly lucrative deals with the terrorist and dictator Hussein, it's no surprise how utterly one-sided and slanderous it is. To further boot, it does this by absolutely neglecting and bypassing most of the real truth, or, at least, enough truth to have a balance of facts both for Bush-haters and those pro Bush.

In light of the abysmal French bias in which this was written, I'll provide the rest of the facts that the authors unethically decided to override. It IS funny, however, that libs are always homocidally complaining that the media is overrun by a dictatorship of conservatives (a totally discreditable notion to begin with), and libs are always distorting that one should properly inform themselves from the "Republican-controlled" media--then they go and suggest this utterly, genocidally unobjective smear campaign!! How atrocious.

Number 1, the Clinton Admn. should be the one to blame more than any untrue innuendo concerning team Bush. A while ago, 60 minutes had a decent exposee about how Clinton, and then former FBI head man Freeh, and their mutual hate for each other, which is why 911 happened to begin with. Not to mention Freeh's damning testimony on the hill about 6 months ago, where he confessed that Clinton refused to fight terrorism militarily and Congress imposed unreasonably crippling restrictions on FBI surveillance. Moral of story: for the French authors and the lib radicals, look to the Clinton Admn. to shoulder the blame there.

Number 2, the French authors aren't trustworthy. With an ungodly severity of French contracts and French built factories for the former Iraqi regime, they are scandalously obviously in no place to point fingers.

Number 3, is the maligning issue about disrespectful reviewers pointing the finger at the Saudis as "real public enemy No.1", and the States having sold itself out to Saudis, the "real sponsors of terrorism". I am again pressured to educate the glaringly hostile, and biased, in their hostility, one-sided reviewers who angrily will indict Bush on ANYTHING, stupid-sounding or not. Saudis themselves are victims of terrorism, as the blast the other day just showed. ALso, Saudis are heavily to thank for the stellar progress on the war on terrorism, helping to cripple Al-Qaeda by 50% already. Not to mention how the Saudis have foiled several terrorist plans against US interests abroad, proving the Bush administrations ties with them to be because of common goals and nothing else, like the dangerously radical libs have been attacking.

There you have it libs and French authors. This book amounts to a big pile of BS.

Opportunistic misinformation......
I bought this book thinking many US oil companies and individuals would be explicity named and implicated in all the hoopla about how this war on terrorism is all about oil. I wanted to find the smoking gun the Bush-haters insist is out there. As I suspected there is, at best, only highly circumstantial evidence of any purposeful wrongdoing by the Bush administration. Oddly enough, many of the factual points implicate the Clinton administration in pandering to the Taliban. Note, the US was considering military action against the Taliban in 1999!! To wit, the only oil company - not even a major, let alone supermajor! - named was Unocal. How does this implicate the entire US oil industry?? The roots of these events go back the the mid-90's. Perhaps my history is weak, but I beleive Clinton was President then. If it's about oil now, it was about oil then. If this was a bestseller in France, I can understand how they are so biased. This book is terribly written given all the research that supposedly occured. The Impossible Negotiation chapter - the authors smoking gun - is a journalistic joke. The most useful part of it is the incomplete chronology of events. I give the book 4-stars because it's been so valuable in discrediting the liberal-left.
