Jean Campbell Knihy

Na základě bohaté praxe a dlouhodobé výzkumné práce sestavila Jean Campbellová praktickou příručku základních arteterapeutických cvičení pro všechny věkové kategorie. Arteterapii autorka chápe jako spontánní, expresivní a tvořivou činnost, která významně přispívá ke spojení vnějšího a vnitřního světa člověka, a tím může pomoci odpovědět na jeho základní potřeby a problémy. Kromě teoretického úvodu, ve kterém autorka přehledně seznamuje s historií skupinové arteterapie a s nejdůležitějšími zásadami přípravy a řízení arteterapeutických činností ve skupině, nabízí publikace soubor více než 140 námětů pro skupinovou arteterapii. Činnosti jsou roztříděny na rozehřívací, základní a závěrečné reflexivní aktivity. Popisy činností jsou stručné, ale přitom přesné a srozumitelné. Technika výtvarné činnosti je zcela volná - záleží na vedoucím, jak námět rozvine. U každého námětu je uveden cíl činnosti, časová náročnost, potřebné pomůcky, vhodný věk účastníků a velikost skupiny.
