Rezensionen

"People who have been so deeply and repeatedly traumatized are extremely difficult to reach, and trust is very hard to achieve. In addition, such traumas leave scars that are only accessible through nonverbal means, the main reason that art therapy is a vital pathway to disorders caused by repeated assaults on the body and the psyche. Art therapists are fortunate that Mary Kometiani has decided to compile a great deal of information about this important topic, and to provide us with numerous examples of its treatment through art."Judith A. Rubin, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM, President, Expressive Media, Inc.

This book informs practitioners about how art therapy can be a vehicle for trauma intervention, advocacy, empowerment, and hope." Gretchen M. Miller, MA, ATR-BC, ACTP, Art Therapist, Renee Jones Empowerment Center and The Northeast Ohio Human Trafficking Law Clinic; Adjunct Professor, Ursuline College Counseling and Art Therapy Program

"This comprehensive book sheds light on one aspect of humanity's shadow. The information is not only alarming but also a call to action for the pervasive area of sex trafficking. The utilization of expressive arts for healing is well documented and most effective for the recovery of this population."

"Mary Kometiani's Art Therapy Treatment with Sex Trafficking Survivors is a holistic piece and a prime example of the restoration of personhood that art therapy can bring to a survivor's life. The book is beautifully written to reflect the continuum of care involved in all aspects of healing and does so using a comprehensive view of sex trafficking in a global context." Celia Williamson, PhD, MSW, LSW, and Joanna Jaimes, MSW
