Description: Moving forward the conversation on the long called for greater consideration of identity, politics and social justice in practice, this book positions an understanding of intersectionality as critical for effective arts psychotherapy. It confronts the impact of gender, sexuality, race, age, disability and class in both typical settings for arts psychotherapy work and in the wider profession.
Review Quotes: An exceptional and timely book which succeeds in unpacking the complexities of intersectional thinking within art psychotherapy, while at the same time demonstrating its role in challenging the unconscious bias, privilege and occlusions that can often deny authentic connection. The value of art as a tool for building recognition across the multiple identity positions that we each inhabit is explored throughout in case studies that exhibit remarkable scholarship, intimacy and deep compassion.--Dr Daniel Baker, is an artist, curator and researcher.
