Recenzje

 

“Ingrid Pénzes is an experienced art therapist who completed her doctoral research on the role of art materials in art therapy assessment in the Netherlands. This book is a clear and succinct summary of how her way of assessing has been influenced by this research and provides a rich resource for fellow art therapy practitioners and trainees to use in their practice. For once, dissemination of research findings has been clearly adapted and presented for practice.”

Ditty Dokter, PhD. Codarts Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge UK.

 

“This is what art therapy needs. The art form as the foundation of our profession, scientifically proven and cast in a clear assessment tool. ArTA is without a doubt a new standard for practice and education.”

Sanne Van Gelder, MA, Art Therapist and Training Coordinator BaNaBa Creative Therapy  PXL University of Applied Sciences Hasselt, Belgium

 

“An exciting book in many ways. Once we thought we could understand people by having them look at drawings, then came the time when we looked at their drawings, and now Ingrid Pénzes prepares us for the next step: it’s not about what someone draws, but how someone draws. The ArTA method systematically searches for the signs of health: “What do you need to come into your power?"

Giel Hutschemaekers, Professor of Mental Health Care, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
