For more than 20 years, Crafts and Creative Media in Therapy, Fifth
Edition has been an illuminating reference for the use of creative
approaches in helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals.
Carol Crellin Tubbs has included a range of craft and creative
activity categories, from paper crafts, to cooking, to the use of
recycled materials, and everything in between. Each chapter
includes a brief history of the craft, several projects along with
suggestions for grading or adapting, examples of related
documentation, and a short case study. The text also features
chapters on activity analysis, general strategies for
implementation of creative activities, and documentation, as well
as a chapter describing the relevance of this media from both
historical and current occupation-based perspectives. In this
updated Fifth Edition, the craft projects have been updated and
numerous resources and links for more ideas have been added. There
are new chapters on making therapy tools and crafting with a
purpose, and the recycled and found materials chapter has been
expanded in keeping with cultural trends. A flow chart has been
added to each case study to help students better understand the
process and rationale for tailoring activities for individual
client needs, and project suggestions for working on specific
performance skills or client factors are scattered throughout the
chapters. Other additions include a behavioral observation
checklist as an aid in evaluation and documentation, and several
illustrations to help students distinguish between the use of
occupation as means and occupation as end. This Fifth Edition also
includes an updated instructors' manual with additional resources
and suggestions for lesson planning. Crafts and Creative Media in
Therapy, Fifth Edition not only provides a wide assortment of craft
ideas and instructions, but also provides multiple suggestions for
therapeutic uses for activities in each category. It includes ways
to grade activities to best achieve therapy objectives, and
examples of documentation for reimbursement. For each craft
category, there is discussion on precautions for use with certain
populations, contextual limitations, and safety considerations.
Information is presented in several different formats such as
examples, tables, illustrations, and other formats to promote
student understanding. Instructors in educational settings can

teaching in the classroom. Crafts and Creative Media in Therapy,
Fifth Edition is the foremost resource for using creative
approaches in helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals and
should be used by all occupational therapists, occupational therapy
assistants, and recreational therapists.
