'The fruit of more than twenty years of John Allan's clinical work with children--both "normal" children in classrooms and those physically and sexually abused, emotionally neglected, and terminally ill. The book describes different ways to use art: both spontaneous and directed drawing, guided imagery, and active imagination. Rooted in Jung's theory of the regenerative, self-healing ability of psyche, Allan's approach is pragmatic, sensitive, and respectful. His clear language and feeling for his cases make the book widely accessible....not merely providing examples but portraying experience.'
