商品簡介
Just as she wove together her passions of psychology and the textile arts, clinical psychologist Collier (lecturer, U. of Wisconsin) explains how therapists and fiber artists can integrate fiber handicrafts with therapeutic/personal growth goals. Unlike classic art therapy that emphasizes psychodynamic theories, she presents textile art-based women's therapy groups drawing on eclectic theories as a way to foster positive coping skills. The book includes projects that can be adapted for various psychosocial issues, examples of textile art, a survey on experience with textile handicrafts, suggested reading, and references.
