Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Becoming a Profession provides the first comprehensive historical account of the struggle by art therapists to gain recognition and validation for their work within the British state health and education system. It covers the period 1938 to 1982 - from the time when the term was first used in Britain to the assimilation of art therapy by the Whitley Council, with its own career and salary structure.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 273-279) and indexes.
