Diana Coholic is Associate Professor in the School of Social Work at Laurentian University, Canada.

Introduction.; 1. The Usefulness of Holistic Arts-Based Methods with Children and Youth in Need.; 2. Children and Spirituality: Holistic Arts-Based Interventions and Processes.; 3. Mindfulness-Based Practice with Children and Youth in Need.; 4. Holistic Arts-Based Activities and Methods to Build Imagination, Self-Awareness, and Strengths.; 5. Working in Groups - Benefits, Challenges, and Holistic Arts-Based Interventions. Conclusions. Index.
The book describes many techniques for the purpose of drawing out feelings. Participants are helped to recognise the value of choices, enabling them to act on thoughts rather than impulse with negative consequences...I recommend this book for its thoughtful approach, holistic philosophy, and the variety of easily accessible techniques.
