- Synopsis
- In her history of art therapy in the United States Junge (clinical art therapy, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, emerita) explodes across the page with her passionate commitment to the field and the people who developed it, many of them friends of hers. She begins with the naming of the discipline in the 1940s. Each section contains short biographies of and interviews with those who pioneered the field. There are also notations of important social and political events that affected the way in which art therapists worked. The book progresses by decade detailing the successes and setbacks in creating the profession and having it recognized as valid. She concludes by saying that it is satisfying to have achieved so much but that she hopes that art therapy will never become codified and regimented. If other art therapists are at all like Junge there is no danger of that happening. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
