Expressive Therapeutic Writing (häftad, eng)

This book brings engagement and conversation to a cross-pollination of creative and expressive writing and multi-modal art forms.

Through the lens of expressive arts therapy, the authors demonstrate how writing can reveal the unexpected that emerges from art making.

The lineage of expressive arts therapy includes artful writing; poetry, associative, creative, and memoir, for example, to engage in self-discovery, growth, and restorative care. Each chapter is grounded in intermodal expressive arts with a central focus on creative and expressive writing, which is informed by movement, visual art, storytelling, music, sound, photography, and physical performance, including response art, and has writing prompts and invitations as well as playful and improvisational integrative arts writing explorations.

Creative arts therapists and expressive therapists actively searching for creative playful self-reflective writing practice will find this book a rewarding resource.
