Art Therapy Book Recommendations

For those interested in the field of art therapy and wonder if you would like to go on and study art therapy… here are a list of books that have meant a great deal to me over the years. I received my MA in Fine Arts at University of Illinois in Chicago back in 1987. I had amazing teachers and mentors including: Harriet Wadeson, Evadne McNeil and Pat Olsen. They've all taught, written and practiced extensively in the field. And all in different ways.
