This fascinating account of a young man's journey from depression to health and creativity , through art therapy, centres on a series of extraordinary images. These were produced by the patient, Kim, throughout his two year relationship with art therapist, Gabrielle Rifkind. Here is a rare opportunity to hear the voice of the patient as well asthat of the therapist. Therapy and process 'come alive' in the text, addressing the reality of the individual experience of both patient and therapist as well as the reciprocal difficulties that each sets up for the other. The third voice, that of Tessa Dalley, provides an objective view of the process as it occurs, analysing the developing relationship between the therapit, patient and image, and setting it in the context of current art therapy theory. Such a detailed account of clinical practice within art therapy is rarely available.Dalley, Tessa is the author of 'Three Voices of Art Therapy: Image, Client, Therapist' with ISBN 9780415077958 and ISBN 0415077958.
