Title: old concepts presented without feeling
Product review: Lucia Cappachione has written a number of reasonably good books for the popular press over the past decades-- unfortunately, this newest book indicates that she has nothing left to say that is new or innovative. The exercises and examples are tired and over-used and are not "pioneering" as she claims. I am disappointed that a fine publisher like Tarcher fell for this material and added it to their line of self-help books.The reader who is looking for something substantial on how art taps emotions might look to Pat Allen's Art is a Way of Knowing. Living with Feeling lacks both depth and feeling and substance. I hope that Cappachione will someday take a risk and really dig down deep for some new material that will help readers once again use art as healing in a meaningful way and that she will quit rushing to get another book out onto the shelves just to make a quick sale.
