Using Drawings in Assessment and Therapy

The book that is written by Dr. Gerald Oster and Patricia G. Crone has been a really guiding book for me in using drawings in my counseling ministry. Many insights I got from the book. The writers show us that its drawings test may be used not only for an individual counseling, but also to a marriage and family counseling. One thing from its writing that really impressed me is that the writers give me so many illustrative cases that I could easily comprehend their explanations.

I purchased this mostly to educate myself as a school-based counselor. I found that it to be a straight forward, informative, and substantive text. Overall, I'm happy with it.

Great book for an Art Therapy undergraduate! I plan on using this for a long time to come! I haven't read too much about it, but it has all the basics and as a required text in my class, has offered a lot of useful information.

A helpful tool to look at drawings of children, adolescents, and adults to help identify problem areas for discussion in therapy.

Comprehensive enough but lacks in-depth guidelines.

This book has been an awesome resource. I am a first year graduate student studying rehabilitation counseling, and it has been extremely useful in providing ideas and alternatives to traditional assessments.

This book offers a fine insight on the topic of projective therapeutic approaches. Recommendable.

This is wonderful tool for interpreting children's drawings - it's clearly written and offers good insights. Recommend for anyone working with art and children.

Great book - lots of useful information

Purchased this book thinking I was getting a new copy. Has some dirty and dogeared pages, adhesive residue on the cover from library stickers and several stamps throughout book. Not impressed.
