"Dr. Madori has provided a significant contribution both to the expressive arts therapy profession, as well as to the field of gerontology. Her perspective is based on a wellness model, a refreshing approach both to understanding the experience of aging and to the application of the expressive arts with older adults. Another especially thoughtful and helpful aspect of the TTAP method is its ability to encourage in-depth, long-term arts experiences rather than brief, perhaps more superficial, forms of engagement. I highly recommend this book for art therapists who work with older adults, as well as those who aspire to include other arts disciplines in their practices." --Dr. Madeline Rugh, ATR-BC, book review in The American Art Therapy Journal
This innovative book is a 9-step methodology to actively engage older adults and help preserve their cognitive functioning using this innovative, integrative approach to therapeutic art.
