This book describes ArTA, an evidence-based method for art therapy
observation and assessment. This novel method argues the art-making
process and art product are related to aspects of mental health. The
results of the author’s own research show that observed patterns in
material interaction, material experience, and the specific
combinations of formal elements of the art product reveal the
client’s balance between thinking and feeling, and adaptability.
Divided into four sections, the book illustrates this research,
theory, and application of the ArTA method using examples and case
histories with clear frameworks that give guidance in art therapy
observation and assessment. It provides direction for formulating
treatment goals and drawing up appropriate treatment interventions.
Intended for art therapy students and practicing art therapists, this
methodology will challenge readers to rethink the relationship between
a client’s interaction with art materials and their mental health.
