About this book
The process of printmaking can be useful to art therapists in a wide range of settings: for example, the incremental process can be helpful in groupwork, and physically challenged clients can benefit from the physical aspects of printmaking. The author explores these therapeutic advantages of printmaking. She also describes its roots outside art therapy. Relief printing, intaglio, planographic or surface processes, and stencilling are all covered in detail, with many ideas for incorporating them into art therapy sessions. The author gives a comprehensive and clear account of the impact that printmaking can have on clients' inner lives, using many examples drawn from her own practice.
The combination of technical information, clinical applications and practical instructions for using the printmaking processes will make this book a valuable tool for art therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and others working with clients with a range of needs and abilities.

Why
Choose
Printmaking
for
Art
Therapy?
Product,
process
and
person
Ault
(1986)
proposed
a
three-part
understanding
of
art
therapy:
the
product,
the
process
and
the
person.
The
word
‘process’
may
be
confusing
because
it
is
used
so
frequently
here.
Ault
uses
it
to
describe
how
someone
does
or
engages
in
the
artmaking.
Printmaking
is
also
described
in
four
main
processes,
four
ways
that
the
artmaking
is
actually
done.
In
Chapters
4–9,
I
have
focused
on
the
strengths
of
each
printing
process
to
serve
different
needs.
Product
The
unique
aspect
of
printmaking
compared
to
other
media
available
to
art
therapists
is
the
production
of
multiples.
Multiple
products
are
discussed
in
Chapters
8
and
9.
In
cases
where
a
product
is
a
valuable
goal
for
therapy,
printmaking
is
invaluable.
Artistically
satisfying
products
can
be
made
with
beautiful
colors
and
adapted
materials.
Useful
products
can
be
created
for
many
purposes.
The
interaction
of
a
group
to
produce
a
product,
and
the
purposefulness
of
printing
for
rehabilitation
and
voca-
tional
training
are
emphasized
in
Chapter
9.
