Reviews

Hayes seamlessly intertwines CBT techniques with art therapy and presents her protocol in a down-to-earth style, making for a nonthreatening approach to self-discovery and self-compassion. The author effectively illustrates each session by including metaphors, case examples, and personal experiences that are sure to stick with readers long after they finish the book. The Creative Cognitive Therapy Method is a delightful companion for anyone on a journey of personal growth and an innovative resource for art therapists.

I loved reading Pamela's The Creative Cognitive Therapy Method. What is unique and promising are the sessions combined learning styles; auditory, visual, and sensory. These learning styles allow for the best opportunity for reinforcing learning. Those who are substance use disorder habilitation clients will really benefit from this approach.

Underscores the rich intersection of art therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy, and demonstrates how valuable it is as a guide for self-exploration and improvement, beautifully mapped out through 10 easily accessible modules. Written in a straightforward and engaging manner, it feels that Malkoff is having a warm --yet professional --conversation directly with the reader. I have no doubt that this book will prove to be the ultimate go-to resource for not only clinicians, but for anyone simply wishing to work on themselves.
