Good overview

I've used this book a lot in my private practice and find it to be a excellent resource in my art therapy library.
Good General Overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Very good for a general overview of understanding the use of art as yet another tool when working with children. I had the impression after reading the book that there is no hard fast rule and everything should be taken with the consideration of the larger picture. Very helpful.
Art and Place Attachment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I found this book to be very helpful in understanding the symbolism of children's drawings. I am working on a PhD, with a focus on place attachment and children, and found loads of very useful information in this book for interpreting children's drawings about their homes, communities, etc. I am in the process of reading several books about children's drawings and how to interpret, but have found this one to be one of the most useful to date.
The best book on children's drawings in the last decade

Bravo to this author for bringing together a wealth of material on children's drawings in a clear and readable way. Professionals as well as lay people will enjoy this book; I recommend it to parents also. Pictures are marvelous!
Very helpful

I have recently completed the book in question and found it extremely helpful. It provided the basics that I can build on to understand children's drawings and perhaps children in general. I,at least have a fundamental idea of what to look for and how to interpret what is presented to me by a child. This book will not make one an over night expert on children's drawing (that takes time) but it does provide simple and understandable direction.
