"Coherent, insightful, and passionate, Wexler provides an essential text.Both practical and enlightening, the work provides a useful resource for teachers, administrators, and scholars. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - Choice"Wexler's book starts with a good overview of the problem and need. Her new ingredient - the urgency to conquer isolation and reclaim selfhood often results in equally powerful art - is very important and often omitted...This book has interdisciplinary implications because it unifies art therapy, art education, science - brain research, and even social work." - Mary Stokrocki, Professor, School of Art, Arizona State University
