This book provides a comprehensive survey of women's issues within art therapy. The contributors explore:
* women's mental health
* the interaction between popular culture and the representation of women in psychiatric discourse
* the socio-political dimensions of women's lives
Case studies cover a selection of topics including assertiveness, empowerment, sexuality and childbirth, as well as issues around class, race and age.
Feminist Approaches to Art Therapy helps art therapists develop gender-aware practice, and illustrates to women in general what art therapy has to offer them.
