Summary:

In this book, Susan Hogan traces art therapy's origins back to the latter part of the eighteenth century, when working with images was used as a "moral treatment". As well as providing an authoritative history of art therapy, she covers such diverse topics as the philosophy of art therapy, the way attitudes to insanity have changed, Surrealism, and Britain's first therapeutic community.
