Essenze Publications is the publishing arm of the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute, launched in 2019. Its purpose is to offer original, multi-platform contributions to the field of expressive arts in Canada.
At this time, we are primarily focused on texts supporting our land-based, culturally responsive approach to art therapy.
Current Publications
The Magpie’s Nest: Arts-based Supervision is intended as a guidebook, resource, and source of inspiration to support the professional development and supervision for clinicians, art therapy students, art therapists, art therapy educators, on-site supervisors, peer supervisors, on-line digital art therapy supervisors, and registered art therapists providing group and individual supervision.
Walking With is a unique compilation of writings and art from nine geographical and culturally diverse groups of people. This work explores the theory and practice of art therapy, cultural differences, ethics in art therapy, the business of art therapy, and Open Studio models. Tzafi Weinberg and Monica Carpendale have created a wonderful space for a diverse gathering of writers and art therapists to explore how art therapy can be a common ground between cultures for communication, connection, and healing.
