This book explores the effectiveness of art therapy as treatment for cumulative trauma survivors.Bringing together case studies, research, and the author’s clinical and personal experience, it outlines different clinical approaches as well as numerous art therapy interventions that are processed through somatic, metaverbal, and narrative means. It further aims to answer the question of “how art therapy works,” by pairing aspects of Lusebrink’s Expressive Therapies Continuum with Perry’s four functional domains (from the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics) to demonstrate how these practices may increase relational capacity and the patient’s access to higher level functioning, in turn, decreasing trauma responses.Foregrounding a person-centered and multi-dimensional approach to trauma repair and creative interventions, this book will appeal to postgraduate students in art therapy and counselling, as well as professionals and researchers in somatic work and trauma specialties.

“Knash remarks that within the profession of art therapy, there seems to be an implicit understanding of the power of imagery in trauma therapy. Her doctoral dissertation, synthesized in this text, sought to provide an evidenced based explanation, and practical application of art therapy approaches in the treatment of trauma that is accessible yet deeply resonant. She enhances understanding with compelling vignettes from her own clinical experience of over 20 years. She shares prompts for directive and non-directive approaches, detailing specific media and processes, and invites the use of music and movement in accompaniment. As a practicing clinician and art therapist educator, I have not encountered other texts that synthesize these theories with such clarity and readability.”- Denise R. Wolf, Associate Clinical Professor at Drexel University, in Journal of the American Art Therapy Association“The question of how to heal from trauma, particularly when the damage is ingrained within both the body and the mind, is an essential one in therapeutic practices. In her book Art Therapy as Cumulative Trauma Repair, Jennifer Albright Knash offers an insightful exploration of how art therapy can address trauma in a way that goes beyond verbal expression. Art-making is posited as a potential language, offering a means of being seen and understood, even when words fail. This book contributes significantly to the field of creative arts therapies (CAT) by weaving together theory and practice, demonstrating art therapy’s capacity to engage with and repair the effects of cumulative trauma. By integrating somatic, meta-verbal, and narrative approaches, Knash provides a comprehensive framework for therapeutic intervention that honours the complexity of trauma and facilitates healing through creative engagement.”- Georgia Ruby Polichroniadis MAT, BFA(Hons), BFA, in Journal of Creative Arts Therapies
