A practical framework for art therapy with older adults
Erin Partridge is an art therapist and researcher. She has worked with older adults for over 7 years and is part-time faculty in the art therapy department at Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, CA.
Dr. Partridge exquisitely captures the power of art therapy
illuminated by a spirit of empowerment and advocacy for elders.
This is a much-needed and enlightened guide and framework for art
therapists working with this wonderful population and whose wisdom
is applicable to all art therapists seeking to improve venerable
results for their clients.

Art Therapy with Older Adults provides critical insight for art
therapists to empower elders with creative potential. Including
robust theoretical and practical examples of creativity and
self-actualization, Dr Partridge, along with her older adult
co-researchers, developed a much-needed art therapy theory. Through
her work, including digital media and museums, Dr Partridge is
revolutionizing how art therapy thinks about social empowerment,
abilities, creativity, clinical practice, and research and with
elders.
