Opis

Creative Arts in Counseling and Mental Health provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of expressive therapy techniques used in counseling today. Phillip Neilsen, Robert King, and Felicity Baker provide a framework of practice principles for a broad range of creative therapies taught among many counseling and psychology programs in the US and abroad. Creative arts are particularly useful in working with children and adults with disabilities to aid expression and communication. This book will cover visual arts such as art therapy across a number of settings and populations, including children, alcohol and drug dependents, homeless and those with severe mental illness. It will also cover creative writing and music therapy and drama. All methods covered will also be reviewed for their effectiveness, and the editors will focus on their evidence base.
