Handbook of Expressive Arts Therapy

This authoritative volume comprehensively reviews how to incorporate movement, sound, play, art, drama, and other multisensory practices into psychotherapy. Cathy A. Malchiodi and other leading experts demonstrate ways to implement and combine a wide range of expressive approaches depending on an individual's or group's needs. Rich case examples illustrate what these modalities look like in action and how they allow clients to explore feelings and memories that are difficult to access verbally. The book interweaves theory and research with practical suggestions for using expressive arts therapy to promote self-regulation and healing.
