Arts Therapy in a Changing World : Creative Interdisciplinary Concepts and Methods for Group and Individual Development

This book presents fresh and practical interdisciplinary arts-based concepts and methods to support and improve therapists' work assisting individuals and groups to develop coping, expressive, and communicative skills, broaden creativity and increase flexibility.

It is written in a hands-on style combining theory, detailed protocols, and examples that the author brings together, offering an array of creative ways to work with different clients for a variety of aims.

The book expands arts therapy practice to additional dimensions, enriching and improving professionals' work by presenting new knowledge in fields such as "performance-based therapy," "nature therapy," supervision and assessment, and mind-body connections.

This approach inspires and invites practitioners to develop and implement their own creative methods.
