Book Synopsis Essentials of Art Therapy Education and Practice by : Bruce L. Moon
Download or read book Essentials of Art Therapy Education and Practice written by Bruce L. Moon and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2003 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expanded new edition reflects the author's efforts to explore the crucial components of the education of the creative arts therapist. The text reflects significant developments in the profession of art therapy, important modifications in the educational standards of the American Art Therapy Association, and profound changes in health care. The book is an expression of the author's belief that the most essential element of art therapy is art as the core of the profession. It is art making that undergirds the profession and is also the key element that art therapists bring to the client-therapist and educator-student relationships. Central, too, to the author's approach is the manner in which mentor and beginning art therapist come together in their efforts to learn and grow. The concern for authentic engagement in the training relationship enhances the beginner's ability to use the self to help clients learn to use art and artistic expression to identify and integrate new insights in their lives. Topics presented include The Image, Making Art, Beginner's Chaos, Journey Metaphor in Education, Mentor/Supervisor, The Art Experience, Core Curriculum, Practical Experience, Science and Soul in the Clinical Setting, The Work of Art Therapy, The Young Student, Gifts of the Male and Female Student, Role of Philosophy, Therapy and Holidays, Metaverbal Therapy, Role of Metaphor, Role of Love, Role of Assessment, and Role of Work. The book is ultimately concerned with the use of art and the artistic relationship to promote human growth. The author's deep understanding of both art and existentialism makes this book a high point in the ever-evolving fields of existential psychotherapy and art therapy.

Book Synopsis ART-BASED GROUP THERAPY by : Bruce L. Moon
Download or read book ART-BASED GROUP THERAPY written by Bruce L. Moon and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading art therapy groups is often a challenge, but as Bruce Moon so eloquently describes in this new second edition, making art in the context of others is an incredibly and almost inexplicably powerful experience. By placing the art at the center of practice, Art-Based Group Therapy creates an explanatory model and rationale for group practice that is rooted in art therapy theory and identity. There are four primary goals discussed in this text. First, an overview of essential therapeutic elements of art-based group work is provided. Second, a number of case vignettes that illustrate how therapeutic elements are enacted in practice are presented. Third, the author clearly differentiates art-based group therapy theory from traditional group psychotherapy theory. Fourth, the aspects of art-based group work and their advantages unique to art therapy are explored. Art-based group processes can be used to enhance participants' sense of community and augment educational endeavors, promote wellness, prevent emotional difficulties, and treat psychological behavioral problems. Artistic activity is used in art-based groups processes to: (1) create self-expression and to recognize the things group members have in common with one another; (2) develop awareness of the universal aspects of their difficulties as a means to identify and resolve interpersonal conflicts; (3) increase self-worth and alter self-concepts; (4) respond to others and express compassion for one another; and (5) clarify feelings and values. Through the author's effective use of storytelling, the reader encounters the group art therapy experience, transcending the case vignette and didactic instruction. Art-based group therapy can help group members achieve nearly any desired outcome, and/or address a wide range of therapeutic objectives. The book will be of benefit to students, practitioners, and educators alike. Using it as a guide, art therapy students may be more empowered to enter into the uncertain terrains of their practice grounded in a theory soundly based in their area of study. Practitioners will no doubt be encouraged, validated, and inspired to continue their work. The author succeeds in establishing a framework that allows art therapists to communicate the value of their work in a language that is unique to art therapy.

Book Synopsis Art Therapy Activities by : Pamela J. Stack
Download or read book Art Therapy Activities written by Pamela J. Stack and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elementary school art education workbook presents activities and lesson plans that encourage, stimulate and facilitate creative expression. The author shows how to use art in a more meaningful way than usual in the elementary school setting. Rejecting the product-oriented approach, she details instead a method that helps the child explore who he or she really is, to accept that person, and to change and grow. While the book is light-hearted - not at all the ponderous tome its purpose may suggest - it does indeed show how to promote therapeutic expression and how to use art to deal with problems and meet psychological needs. The activities are geared toward these ends. Divided into three sections, they focus on awareness of self, others and the environment; acceptance; and experimentation and exploration. The lesson plans provided within these sections have been tested and proven successful. They provide information on materials and tools, procedures, directions, goals, target populations, evaluation, resources and notes. A final section contains miscellaneous materials valuable in conducting group art therapy sessions.
