What other professionals say about this book:
Violet Oaklander, Ph.D.
Author of Windows to Our Children: A Gestalt Approach to Children and Adolescents and Hidden Treasure: A Map to the Child’s Inner Self.
Since clay is my favourite medium in my work with children, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read and comment on Touching Clay: Touching What? The Use of Clay in Therapy. Very little has been written about this medium for therapy and this book fills a much needed void. It is a fine, important contribution.

Professor Simon du Plock
Head of the Doctoral Programme
While of obvious relevance to trainees and practitioners working in art, play or drama therapy, the author’s journey returns the reader to the existential root of therapy – its concern with what it means to be human. For this reason alone, this is a book worthy of the attention of therapists from all theoretical backgrounds, while as a pioneering text on therapeutic use of clay it more than earns its place on the bookshelves of creative-minded practitioners.
Monika Jephcott
President, Play Therapy International
This book is a long awaited contribution to the Creative Arts ‘Toolkit’TM. An important addition to the Play Therapy literature.
Joy Hasler
Music therapist. Clinical Director of Catchpoint Adoption Support Agency, Bristol.
This book weaves history, theory and real-life stories to create a wonderful counterpane of vitality, but always grounded in personal experiences of working with clay within the therapy space. There are suggestions for clinical practice, what you need to know to use clay, and sections on different therapeutic themes and symbols. It is a book that will inform, inspire and excite those who are interested in including clay as part of their therapeutic tool box. I couldn’t put it down.
