About this title

Synopsis

This book is a must-have for any clinician or student who wants to plan, change, or expand their career choices. Beyond Talk Therapy is a comprehensive guide to the growing area of expressive techniques in therapy. Many clients and practitioners are now 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 such areas as art, dance, yoga, music, drama, theater, and ritual. Each chapter in this unique 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.
