This collection is the first of its kind, explaining graphic novels' and comics' place in art therapy practice, education and research. It includes examples of how to use them in practice with different client groups, and five autobiographic comics showing how they can be a form of reflective practice.
With illustrations and graphic narratives throughout, this edited book reveals the potential benefits of using graphic novels, zines, and comics in art therapy practice, education, creative engagement, and social advocacy.

Organised into three parts, the book begins by exploring the meaningfulness of comics and graphic novels. Part Two demonstrates how art therapists have used graphic novels and art therapy in practice, discussing process and structure to support you to integrate graphic novels and comic books in your own practice. Lastly, Part Three presents five short comics chronicling art therapist's experiences as a form of reflective practice.

Dr Natalie Rae Carlton is an Associate Professor of Art therapy and Arts-based research in the Creative Arts Therapies Department at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
