Opis

The impact of political violence, war, terrorism and oppressive regimes on the individuals involved can be extensive. Art therapy can provide an effective means of expressing the resulting experiences of fear, loss, separation, instability and disruption which, left unexplored, can have devastating effects. With contributions from Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Israel and South Africa, "Art Therapy and Political Violence" includes numerous clinical examples to vividly illustrate the main issues affecting art therapy with victims of conflict.
