"I couldn't put it down and kept flipping the pages to the end." Karilyn Bentley "FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS is the kind of 'Abandoned at Birth' supsense thriller you don't find everyday. Very well written, with many clever twists and turns. I can't wait for the sequel but I guess I will have to." Brittany Cox"This is the kind of stuff movies are made of, I can see this book making a big splash in Hollywood " Lois Martinez"I could not stop reading once I started until the end. It was so timely for the era as my own children were involved. I believe that you have found the real time for those characters and I believe that your sequels will be successful when the main people grow so keep up your real timeline ... I plan to loan it to my niece who reads a lot along with her being an Officer in several organizations here in Sarasota County. P. S. Most females cannot pass up a tearjerker. Which it surely is."

The image, the client and the therapist are three essential aspects of the art therapy relationship; each has a separate ‘voice’. In this book, originally published in 1993, the three voices come alive as the client, Kim, and the therapist, Gabrielle, tell the story of his path from suicidal despair to health and creativity through a series of extraordinary images. The images, chosen to represent the stages of Kim’s therapeutic experience, speak for themselves and convey their importance as a powerful catalyst for change. An outer voice, that of Tessa Dalley, provides a theoretical commentary on the process as it occurs, adding to the understanding of what is happening in the therapeutic encounter. This fully rounded account of clinical practice in art therapy offers a rare insight into common issues and dilemmas which will make the book of interest to both professional and non-professional readers alike.
