Making its Mark: Art Therapy in the Arabian Peninsula

Powell Sara

Description

Art therapy is rapidly expanding across the Arabian Peninsula. This book showcases the works of pioneering art therapists in the region who integrate and adapt Western psychotherapeutic models whilst adhering to culturally responsive practice, capturing innovative treatment protocols reflective of differentiated psychological and cultural needs. More importantly, it provides a voice to a cross section of a community from a region that is often misunderstood and muted on the global stage. This book is surprisingly the first of its kind for the region and provides a window to art therapy within this cultural context, its challenges and its strengths. It is informative and benefits mental health professionals, educators, students, and anyone with an interest in expressive therapy.
