Review title: cookbook approach to children's expressive work
Product review: As a therapist I was very disappointed by this book because of its cookbook approach to children's drawings. Using lists of characteristics may suit the adult need to justify a diagnosis, but is this a real service to children? I think not and was very disturbed by the authors' view of children's expressive work. An antidote to this book is Understanding Children's Drawings/Malchiodi; this book presents a humanistic, respectful view of children's drawings, one which I can comfortably use in my own work with troubled or abused children.
