Description

A comprehensive guide to the growing area of expressive techniques in therapy. Many clients and practitioners are searching for therapeutic techniques that go beyond traditional talk therapy to tap into the healing potentials found within the body, creative expression, and the spirit. These techniques include areas such as art, dance, yoga, music, drama, theatre and ritual. Each chapter in the volume focuses on a different technique, describing its theoretical underpinnings, showcasing how it works in clinical examples, and reviewing the rationale for its use. Each chapter includes an essential resource section that details creditation and educational requirements, schools of learning, and further sources of information.
