About this title

Synopsis

This resource comprises a collection of accessible, flexible, tried-and-tested activities for use with people in a range of care and therapy settings, to help them explore their knowledge of themselves and to make sense of their experiences.

Among the issues addressed by the activities are exploring physical changes, emotional trauma, interpersonal problems and spiritual dilemmas. Designed with simple and inexpensive art tools in mind for individual and group activities of varying difficulty, it also includes real-life anecdotes that bring the techniques to life. This new edition contains extra activities and resources to promote the continuing wellness of patients and clients outside of therapy settings.

This new edition of the Expressive Arts Activity Book is full of fun, easy, creative ideas for workers in hospitals, clinics, schools, hospices, spiritual and religious settings, and in private practice.
