The Creative Arts in Counseling, 6th Edition (EPUB)

By Samuel T. Gladding
This text discusses how the creative arts can be used in the counseling process, focusing on music, dance and movement, imagery, visual arts, literature and writing, drama and psychodrama, humor, play, animal-assisted therapy, and horticultural, nature, and wilderness therapies. Each chapter includes background on the art form; the premise behind using it; the general practice of using it in counseling settings; uses with specific populations, such as children, adolescents, adults, older adults, groups, families, and minorities; and art-related exercises. Other chapters provide information on the history, rationale, and benefits of using artistic methods in general, as well as trends in the use of the arts in counseling. The book ends with creative exercises in different domains. This edition has a new section on incorporating the creative arts in telebehavioral counseling; eight creative reflections in each chapter; separate chapters on animal-assisted therapy, therapeutic horticulture and wilderness/nature therapy, play, and humor, with expanded information; and two-part chapter overviews.
