This is a really nice book for someone starting out working with the elderly in a creative arts therapy field. The book is a quick, short and easy read, and demonstrates the benefits of art, music and movement therapies and gerontology. As an art therapist, I think the art therapy section was accurate, but not very detailed or in depth. A lay person or beginner may not be able to fully grasp the philosophy or benefits of art therapy, but there are many other books out there for that. Nevertheless, it's a great read for a "taste" of several creative arts therapies and how they benefit and can be used with this population.
