Editorial Reviews

Review

“Leah Guzman has crafted a book of innovative art therapy resources for therapists and other mental health professions to engage clients in healthy artistic processes. Based on her vast experience with children, teens, and adults, she offers numerous art practices divided into chapters dedicated to specific art materials. Each technique includes goals, art materials, directions, and questions for discussion. Art experiences are carefully developed to help individuals engage in creative processes for coping with the devastating effects of some of today’s most common emotional concerns. This inspired and thoughtful book is an essential resource for those practicing art therapy today.” —Marcia L. Rosal, PhD, ATR-BC, Professor Emerita

“Leah Guzman's Essential Art Therapy Exercises is a treasure chest of transformational tools. This book will make your life better!” —Laura Hollick, founder of Soul Art Studio Inc., creator of the Soul Art Certification

Great book with awesome exercises!!
Recently I've been wanting to become an art therapist but I wasn't sure if it was for me. I bought this book to get a little taste of it and I love this book! The examples and excerises are great and it's a easy read! It shows different exercise is multiple mediums that I never thought about using but it really opened my eyes to the possibilities.

I am a LPC and I work with children and teens. This book has provided a lot of great resources to use in my session. They are simple and do not require a high level of skill or supplies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book of creative exercises, for ANYONE to do at home or in a therapy setting.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021

This is a wonderful book. The introduction is written in a way that it is geared toward the therapist. However, I would say the book would be very helpful to individuals. Each exercise is listed on a single page, with simple and easy to follow instructions, supplies needed and follow up questions to think about or discuss after you’ve completed the project. The projects can be completed in 45 minutes or less, to accommodate time for discussion in a therapy session. I bought the book to work on the projects on my own, at home. So, I’m spending more time on each project. The exercises require no prior artistic training. It’s a wonderful book.

The ebook of this title was free to me because I'm a subscriber to Kindle Unlimited already, so when I looked through it, what I was pleasantly surprised by are all the different categories of art Ms. Guzman offers us. I was thinking it would only be exercises in drawing and/painting, but the author includes collage, mask making, and writing among many others!
Well written with impressive inclusions of what I assume are the authors own artwork. Recommend.

I got the spiral bound version of this book, I recommend this version in case you want to photocopy, it makes it way easier and just keeping the page open while working on an exercise, makes the process a bit smoother instead of loosing your place in the book. The cover is made of a really smooth material super soft.
There are tons of activities to do in this workbook, worth every cent.
Shipping took a couple weeks but that was to be expected on the Amazon shipping options. Shipping was on point.

My Niece at 18 years (now 21) has gone through several "life changing" events all at once. Now that she is over the 2-3 year ordeal, she finally is back on track. She is now suffering from anxiety, depression at times, and I bought her this book because I didn't want it to be lecturing, long reads, or boring etc. I wanted it to be fun, short, and engaging but still working through her thoughts and emotions. This book was perfect! It has helped her in a "fun creative" way helped her organize her thoughts, help her think about things she may not have done before on her road to recovery. Very happy with this book. the impact for my niece will be life changing.

 I’m a watercolor teacher and while I am not a therapist I think some of these activities (especially the lighter ones about mindfulness and self awareness) are great inspiration to add depth to painting classes. Full of wonderful prompts!
