'This book provides some very interesting but subjective reading. It offers anecdotal evidence in the form of many interesting case studies and progress that was made through the use of art therapy and, in some instances, music or cognitive behaviour therapy combined. It offers some useful assessment methods and detailed information about the interventions that were used to enable a variety of clients manage their anger more effectively. It also offers some food for thought in relation to the role and possibilities of art in care delivery. It is well written and easy to understand, offering examples to clarify the points it raises.'

- Mental Health Nursing

'This book is very timely in an age where both public and private manifestations of anger are demonstrated...we have an enlightening and useful series of essays on an important topic.'

- The British Association of Art Therapists

'I found Art Therapy and Anger to be a well organized and informative book on the use of art therapy with both children and adults struggling with issues of anger... There is an underlying thread of respect and reverence for working with clients and their anger.'

- Canadian Art Therapy Association Journal

' An invaluable set of insights and art therapy applications.'

- The Midwest Book Review

'When looking for resources to help clients use anger constructively and feeling frustrated by the paucity of said resources in the art therapy literature, don't get mad, don't get even (to paraphrase a popular saying). Get this book.'
