Here are some recommended books and articles on Art Therapy. Please note that some
of the books listed are meant as historical references to show the roots of art therapy as a
profession.
Thus you are advised to read each book with a critical eye. Art Therapy has come out of
two main schools of thought, (psychoanalysis and art education) and has since branched
out. Just as there are many forms of strictly verbal psychotherapies, so too are there many
theoretical orientations in Art Therapy.
This list is by no means inclusive. If you know of any related books or articles which you
have found helpful please let me know!
