In the context of this profound, shared, global uncertainty and upheaval, it is timely that this new, Fourth Edition of the Handbook of Art Therapy, which seeks to reaffirm as well as update developments in theory and practice in art therapy, is being offered. It is both a theoretical and practical overview and guide as well as being a symbol of the continuity of a robust and reliable profession that looks to the future.Julia Meyerowitz-Katz, Jungian Analyst and Art Psychotherapist, ANZSJA IAAP CCAFPAA ANZACATA, Australia
