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.

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

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.
