Something to Draw On: Activities and Interventions using an Art Therapy Approach (Paperback)
Carol Ross (author)- We can order this from the publisher
Arising from concerns about children who are underachieving or presenting behavioural difficulties, this book outlines a number of useful approaches for teachers and others to use with individuals, small groups and classes.
The book adapts and interprets an art therapy approach which can be used by non-art therapists as well as those practising in the field. Its approach is designed to be used in a variety of settings, such as in schools, special needs education, counselling, speech therapy and youth work. The applications are suitable for addressing a wide range of concerns, such as:
bullying and harassment
breaking negative cycles of behaviour in groups
communication skills
social skills
promoting self-esteem
pastoral care
the specific needs of individuals.
The approach has been trialled in school setting.

MEDIA REVIEWS
This collection of materials would be an excellent addition to the resources of all primary, special and secondary schools in promoting the personal and social development of children and young people. -- Jean French, Adviser for Personal, Social and Health Education, Islington.
Perhaps the greatest strength of Something to Draw On is its broad applicability to children of varying abilities, and with differing problems. She suggests that activities for the entire class use a thematic, curricular context. The author's work in schools clearly demonstrates the value of art therapy for all children, regardless of whether or not they have been identified as having emotional problems. Something to Draw On is a practical resource, useful to both art therapists and others, such as educators and counsellors, who are seeking alternative methods of working with students, as well as trying to determine the role of art therapy in schools. Ross's approach is to integrate art therapy into the educational curriculum, thereby promoting the use of art therapy to deal with a wide spectrum of problems. -- American Journal Of Art Therapy
Something to Draw On could be used as dip-into book for any professional carer -- Inscape
