Review "Buchalter offers a rich resource bursting with ideas for mandala making with clients. The simple, easy to use themes and media techniques for group and individual work are practical and varied. With sensitivity to the centering and insight achievable through mandala making she suggests directives that embrace the archetypal dynamics of art making in a circle. This book will be a dependable guide for art therapists and mental health professionals alike." -- Joanna Clyde Findlay, Art Therapist and Psychotherapist in private practice"This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on the mandala as a therapeutic tool. As an art therapist who has used mandalas for many years, I was amazed by the vast number of new applications and ways of using mandalas that are presented throughout this book… I am tempted to try any number of these strikingly original ways of using the mandala in groups or with individuals in my practice. The author includes directions and instructions, pictures and in depth analysis of mandala artwork illustrating each special focus. The mandala, no matter in what way it is used, has a special power and people are drawn to it. What is different about this book is the multitude of ideas and different projects and ways of using the mandala drawing that are offered, and are accessible to both the layman and the professional therapist." -- Phyllis Frame, Art Therapist and Director of Round Oaks Creative Center, Charlottesville, Virginia Promotional Nearly two hundred techniques for designing mandalas for therapeutic goals Long Description Mandalas are important therapeutic tools promoting focusing, wholeness and healing.
