When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy Summary

When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy: Creative Explorations of Sex, Gender, and Relationships by Einat S. Metzl (Loyola Marymount University, USA)

Appropriate for both sex therapists and art therapists, When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy explores sexuality and gender through the use of art making, connecting relevant theories and research from both fields. It begins with a historical review of how explorations of anatomy, physiology, and sexual identity manifested in art making in different cultures and discusses why a clinician must take these spiritual, medical, and socioeconomic factors in account to offer effective and culturally competent therapy. The second part of the book discusses clinically effective treatments in art and sex therapy, and contains numerous case illustrations. Included are interventions for important issues in therapy, such as exploring gender identity, sexual health and shame, processing sexual abuse, couples' intimacy, parenting concerns regarding their children's sexuality, and treating sex addiction.

When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy Reviews

“Dr. Einat Metzl’s book will invigorate the mental health community’s appreciation of art therapy and sex therapy. Grounded firmly in Metzl’s clinical experience, this comprehensive text illuminates areas critical to conducting effective and culturally competent treatment. It is a vital contribution to the literature, reinforcing the highest standards of professional competence in art therapy and sex therapy.”—Donna Betts, PhD, ATR-BC, board president, the American Art Therapy Association; professor, George Washington University Art Therapy Program, USA

“In the book When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy, art therapy and sex therapy are a perfect marriage; most therapists will find that the two provide assessment and treatment tools to understand a world that may not be accessible with verbal techniques alone. This book gives a good review of the practices and benefits of art therapy as a way to use an adjunctive therapy to increase creativity and enhance treatment.”—Tammy Nelson, PhD, certified sex therapist, registered art therapist, licensed relationship therapist; author, The New Monogamy and Getting the Sex You Want.
“Anyone reading this book will experience an ‘Aha!’ moment as Dr. Einat Metzl brings into focus two seemingly incongruent fields. Written in a style that is both informative and conversational, readers from either discipline—sex or art therapy—will undoubtedly learn something new and essential that can inform their practice. The book is also a great springboard to researchers looking for an area of fruitful investigation.”— Stephanie Buehler, MPW, PsyD, CST-S, psychologist and sex therapist; author, What Every Mental Health Professional Needs to Know about Sex

"...Metzl makes a good argument for art therapists learning more about sexuality and becoming more comfortable with talking the talk."— Leonore Tiefer, Certified Sex Therapist, in PsycCRITIQUES
