Practical Art Therapy.......2006-03-16
Usually these types of books are theoritical (for example why art therapy works) while this one is practical with many activities to work with.
easily understandible.......2006-03-12
Having found myself a little out of depth as regards people needing release from pain and stress, I have found the practicality of this book invaluable. It has opened my eyes to understand a lot more of the history of art therapy, and the exercises are helpful. I found the pictures included also enable one to grasp some of the concepts within the text and the layout of the book makes it exciting reading.
The Art Therapy Sourcebook.......2005-07-25
This book is very useful for the beginner of art therapy.
art therapy.......2005-07-07
I just got done with my first year at college and I got interested in art therapy. I wasn't to sure what exactly it was, and I was recommended this book from my school counselor. It was very informative, and it helped me decide to pursue my study in art therapy.
most innovative and readable art therapy book in print.......2002-04-18
After reading a lot of *same old, same old* art therapy books, I was absolutely thrilled to discover THE ART THERAPY SOURCEBOOK. There are so many art therapy books that are dense and poorly written; Malchiodi is a clear and articulate writer who provides a savvy overview of the field of art therapy in a style that is inviting and exciting. Even if you have never heard of art therapy before, this book will inspire you to want to try your hand at art and will encourage your creative process. As a teacher of art therapy, I require all my first year art therapy and counseling students to read this book and as a therapist, I encourage my clients to read it too. Bravo! I look forward to more books by this author!

Provides Complete Resource on Art Tx. with Older Adults.......2004-07-09
July 1, 2004 - Art Therapy with Older Adults: A Sourcebook, edited by Rebecca Perry Magniant, is the first comprehensive text on creative arts therapies with older adults. An innovative and complete resource on using art therapy techniques with the elderly, the text offers a wide range of ideas and practical information, ideal for those within the field and those who are seeking an introduction.
The nonverbal approach used by art therapy is innovative and effective as a treatment modality, particularly for the elderly - one of the fastest growing segments of our population. This book demonstrates that art therapy is a unique offering for persons aged sixty-five and older, and gives the potential for enrichment and healing in those lives.
About the book:
Art Therapy with Older Adults: A Sourcebook presents case studies and interventions using arts therapies approaches in working with the older adult population. Creative arts therapists will find the text to be a useful resource, while other clinicians, such as those in social work, teaching, psychology, gerontology, and counseling, will find this to be a comprehensive introduction to the field.
The book is divided into three sections: interventions and ideas for working with older adults; working with specific older adult populations; and case studies of individual client work. Also included in this volume is a comprehensive recommended reading list, which lists hundreds of references in the field.
While other texts in this area are limited to one specific aspect of the population, or focus solely on "diversional" or "recreational" aspects of care, Art Therapy with Older Adults: A Sourcebook is a comprehensive sourcebook for clinicians in this growing field. The volume encourages the reader to use the suggested concepts or tailor them to one's own specific working environment or population.
From the back cover:
"A rich compendium of articles on art therapy with older adults, this book is a valuable resource for both art therapists who work with elders and administrators of programs for the elderly. Further, the ideas, interventions, and case examples it offers make a strong case for expanding an effective and low-cost service to more members of our increasing (and currently underserved) elder population." Frances F. Kaplan, DA, ATR-BC, Faculty, Art Therapy Department, Marylhurst University and Editor, Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association
"An inspiring view of aging portrayed through sensitively written case studies, heralding the use of art as a potent form of therapy. Each case is a testimony to the value of artistic creation to help facilitate honest and meaningful personal expression. Perry Magniant aptly demonstrates how art therapy is a powerful vehicle for change and reparation for older adults. A guidebook filled with wisdom, creativity and enlightenment." Deborah Farber, MPS, ATR, Chair, Art Therapy Department, School of Visual Arts of NYC
About the editor:
Rebecca C. Perry Magniant, ATR-BC, is originally from Columbia, Missouri. She is a graduate of The George Washington University and former Director of Art Therapy at Goodwin House West in Falls Church, VA. She has lectured on various topics in the field of art therapy and has taught in the field. Mrs. Perry Magniant now resides in Paris, France.

Book Description
As a follow up to her popular first volume, Sourcebook of Phonological Awareness Activities: Children's Classic Literature, Vol I, this volume includes training materials to be used with popular books such as The Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear Brown Bear. In addition, Dr. Goldsworthy introduces the concept of Phonological awareness and its relationship to reading skills. A wonderful, modern tool for both educators and parents, using this product will help build critical phonological and reading skills in children.
Book Description
The primary purpose of phonological awareness training is to anchor students in the sound system of English to help prepare them to map the graphemic system onto a phonological system, a necessary step for successful reading acquisition. ASHA's (2001) guidelines suggest that good literacy instruction should be outcome-oriented, comprehensive, balanced, contextualized, age-appropriate, recursive, direct, explicit, intense, scaffolded, informative, and corrective. The Sourcebook series embodies these elements and is written for use with 3rd to 5th grade students. The third volume in the respected, popular Sourcebook of Phonological Awareness Activities series, this book provides activities for use with popular 3rd to 5th grade books such as Charlotte's Web, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Henry Huggins, Sarah Plain and Tall, and The Indian in the Cupboard.

Customer Reviews:
Great Cookbook!.......2007-08-29
We got this cookbook as a wedding gift and I have tried nearly all of the recipes in it. All are extremely delicious, east to make and impressive.
The pizza dough is easy and the thin crust is tasty; the breakfast items such as the pancakes, french toast, banana milk are great, desserts, beverages, etc. My husband is fairly picky and he has given each recipe so far his approval. Our favorites are the Roasted Chicken with Vegetables, Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce, Pan Fried Pork Chops, Beef Burgundy, Mac and Cheese (fantastic!), Wild Mushroom Risotto, the Tuna, the Chicken Divine (crowd pleaser), even the Meatloaf! The special occasion recipes are the Prime Rib which my whole family enjoyed and the Filet Mignon - absolutely delicious. In the "Sides" chapter, if you like potatoes, try the Creamy Dreamy Mashed which are great (w/cheddar!), the Potato Pancakes, and the Killer Roasted Potatoes (which my husband always asks for). The banana bread recipe is one of the best ones I've ever tried and the Chocolate cake went over unbelievable at parties.
mmmmmm.......2007-08-01
Everything I've made from this cookbook has been amazing! I've taken quite a few things to social gatherings and nothing but compliments :)
Best Wedding Gift.......2007-05-18
I received this book as a wedding present three years ago and I still find myself pulling it off the shelf over all others. Although my husband and I have always enjoyed cooking together, this book makes it easier and more fun; the recipes are classic and sophisticated. We have already enjoyed several Saturday morning breaskfast and brunch recipes and the ideas for holiday menus are great. Everything has tasted wonderful so far.
Meals with a flair that don't consume your day!.......2007-04-06
My husband bought this for me a few weeks before we got married. He knows how much I love to cook and when he saw me browsing through this in a Williams-Sonoma, he snuck back to the store later and bought it. I'm so glad he did because I absolutely love their recipes! I love to use recipes with a little flair that veer away from the typical "comfort food", but I hate how most of them call for ridiculous ingredients or require you to slave away for 4 or 5 hours! When I come home from a long day at work, that's the last thing I want to do (which is why I sometimes end up eating a bowl of Count Chocula on the couch)! Three reasons I love this cookbook above all others:
1) The directions are clear and easy, I appreciate how they include tips throughout the book on what recipes can be prepared ahead of time, and also the saucy selection of "quick meals" at the back!
2)Their recipes don't feel heavy like general American fare (not that I don't love a Large carton of hot McDonald's fries every now and then).
3)They include ingredients that are a bit more exotic, but don't require you to visit a specialty shop.
We tried their recipe for Guacamole during our Honeymoon week (our honeymoon consisted of moving into our new apartment in Chicago...not exactly Santorini island...but still fun!) and it is the best Guacamole ever created. I've been to countless restaurants of different calibres, and I promise you you won't find one that is better. I've taken it to several parties and family gatherings, and it has become the stuff of legend! It's like catnip for people. Some of my other favorite recipes are the "Goat Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomato & Pesto Torta", the "Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries, Green Onions & Pecans", "Classic Lasagna", and the "Hidden Treasure Bread Pudding" (...and I'm from the South so I KNOW bread pudding, haha).
If you like recipes with flavorful combinations that don't consume your life, BUY THIS BOOK! You won't regret it!
Great for Newlyweds.......2007-04-05
This book is wonderful. There is a wide variety of recipes from simple pasta dishes to more complicated soup recipes. They included desserts and drinks which are perfect for entertaining. This book was a gift from my shower and I love it. My husband and I working our way through each recipe-it's a great way to know all the kitchen devices we now have. I highly recommend it. I use tips from this book when shopping seasonly and in other dishes.
Book Description
The Bride and Groom's First Cookbook is indeed a first--the first modern and manageable teaching cookbook for young couples whose sophisticated tastes outdistance their kitchen skills and available time. And who better to provide such a book than Abigail Kirsch, who has been responsible for orchestrating thousands of weddings and engagement parties, who knows better than anyone the kinds of recipes and instructions young people need and want, and whom young people know and trust.
This easy-to-use teaching book is designed for young working couples who will be sharing the cooking and entertaining chores at home. The recipes, from Spinach and Pine Nut Pizzetta to Roasted Salmon in Horseradish Crust and Lemon Chicken with Capers, are designed to please the well-trained palate, but no culinary skill is assumed. Each recipe includes a list of necessary utensils, a clear set of do-ahead instructions, tips for serving, and variations. In addition, there is a section of complete menus for entertaining in a number of styles on different occasions, from a tailgate picnic to a formal dinner for in-laws or the boss. Each menu includes a timetable for completing all preparation chores and dividing them efficiently between two people. And last but not least, there are a glossary of cooking terms, a list of essential pantry ingredients, and a checklist for a bridal registry.
In short, The Bride and Groom's First Cookbook is an indispensable resource for busy young couples with more taste than time, who want to eat well and entertain with flair.

yummy.......2006-11-02
I received this book as a gift and I have used many of its recipes! Many of the recipes are things I would not have come up with on my own so it gave me the chance to try new things. My husband and I really like the horseradish salmon and mustard crusted lamb! If you can follow directions you can use this cookbook.
NOT AS GOOD AS OTHERS........2006-06-16
I purchased The Bride & Groom First and Forever Cookbook and loved it so I decided to try this one. The Bride and Groom's First Cookbook DOESN'T have pictures! The Bride and Groom First and Forever DOES. Because of the pictures in the latter, I felt compelled to try some of the dishes. They were great and have become part of my regular menus. This book, the Bride and Groom First Cookbook, may have several good recipes but it's more apt to end up dusty on the bookcase. I wasn't really pleased with a few of the recipes I read. Actually, they may be a bit to fancy for my taste and really didn't appeal to me. Others may really like them though. I'm just a basic food type of person. I like basic recipes with a little common flare.
For a more intimate present, you may want to try . . . .......2005-05-18
I am an avid, but amateur chef and am getting married in Fall 05. I've looked at a number of bride-groom cookbooks. So far, my favorite is NOT ON LOVE ALONE by Jessie Carry Saunders. It has a friendlier, more intimate tone than any of the others -- it feels like something written by a bride for other brides.
It has a friendly, appealing feel, like the author is in the kitchen with you, telling you stories about the recipes as she teaches you how to make them. Also, it's just a higher quality book -- it's a hard cover, the pages are nice and thick, and the watercolor illustrations on every page make the book seem like something you could display on your coffee table as easily as you could use it in the kitchen.
If you want a good cookbook, any of the various newlywed cookbooks will work fine. If you want an excellent present for a wedding or a bridal shower, my recommendation is NOT ON LOVE ALONE.
Um no thanks - totally old school!.......2003-08-01
This is soooooo not the first cookbook for newlyweds. Any well meaning guest who buys this for their bride and groom should really take a second to look through the recipes. Newlyweds and cooking are not a natural combination, if you know what I mean. Okay, call me crazy but if I open up a cookbook and most of the recipe titles have things I've never heard of in them, that spells trouble. The recipes are so 1980s - very foo-foo. What about healthy, quick, good food? And a little diversity in the recipes, please :)
Not for beginners.......2003-07-26
If you're a true beginning cook like me, this book will overwhelm you. I'm a working newlywed and eating three hours after I get home at 7pm just isn't going to work.
Some of the recipes are tempting, but overall they have lots of ingredients (some that i've never heard of or that are expensive to buy and then sit on the shelf) and take a long time to prepare/cook.
If I were having the parents over for brunch one Sunday, I may get up super early to surprise them with a meal from this book, but for everyday cooking, this cookbook is a disappointment. The "First" part of the title is misleading.
I'm looking for a BH&G type book but with modern recipes... hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for soon!
