Miller, a dramatherapist and psychologist in New Zealand, informs arts therapists about assessment and outcome measures that can be incorporated into practice. She uses case studies contributed by arts therapists from New Zealand to provide client-centered models of assessing and measuring outcomes for music, art, drama, dance, multi-modal, and other therapies with adults and children. Addressing intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and those coping with bereavement or living in violent homes, each case study includes the pre-treatment assessment, the selection of pre-treatment outcome measures, and post-comparisons using the same measures along with other data. The introduction addresses the rationale for assessment and assessment approaches. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
