Synopsis:

For courses in Counseling and Mental Health programs. Published in collaboration with the American Counseling Association, Counseling as an Art examines the use of creative arts in counseling through the respected voice of Samuel T. Gladding. Chapters are written in a logical sequence, exploring seven specific art forms, and the research and techniques that support their use in clinical settings. Each chapter offers inspiring ideas for working with special populations and strategies for using various art forms in concert with one another. Designed to enrich many counseling courses, the text provides a unique combination of history, theory and application and demonstrates all the creative arts have to offer the healing and helping professions.

From the Back Cover: In the third edition of this much loved text, Dr. Gladding demonstrates how music, dance, imagery, literature, drama, and humor can be used--independently and complementary--in counseling on primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.  Clients of all ages and cultural backgrounds will benefit from the clinically tested techniques presented in this inspiring book.  Counseling as an Art is sure to become a treasured resource that you will reach for time and time again in looking for new ways to enhance your skills and effectiveness as a helping professional.
