Abstract

The Handbook of Expressive Arts Therapy, edited by Cathy Malchiodi and. published by The Guilford Press (2023), showcases expressive arts therapists who call for a recognition of their profession and its contributions to healthcare. The book’s contributors proclaim an urgent call for the arts therapies to become collaborative and integrative in order to provide an extended range of creative health services. Their assertions accentuate the significance of aesthetics as an interdisciplinary imperative, which offers multiple methods of therapeutic communication.
