The class is a good talk about art therapy alone as it discussed minimally on Cognitive therapy. Examples provided should not be only on adults and yet set examples for children's, too.

I like how cognitive art therapy is explained as short term therapy and it is focused for the moment and you can see through the artwork how healing can begin with client.
