Implementing the Expressive Therapies Continuum

Implementing the Expressive Therapies Continuum aims to explore the use of the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) in the form of specific expressive therapy initiatives intended to be used in both educational and professional settings. Drawing on materials co-developed by Dr. Sandra Graves-Alcorn, co-author and developer of the ETC, as well as tried and tested curriculum by Professor Christa Kagin, this interdisciplinary resource will be of great value to students, teachers, mental health clinicians, as well as other healthcare practitioners interested in utilizing the ETC developmental model. All of this is delivered in a clear and easy to follow presentation designed to engage readers.

Sandra Graves-Alcorn, PhD, is a pioneer founder of The American Art Therapy Association and retired professor of expressive therapies at the University of Louisville.

Christa Kagin, MA-ATR, is associate professor and chair of the Art Department at Benedictine College where she developed and leads the Art Therapy Specialization for undergraduates.
