Examine the dynamic role of creativity in therapy! Creativity in
Psychotherapy: Reaching New Heights with Individuals, Couples, and
Families examines the nature, role, and importance of creative
thinking in counseling and therapy. Authors David K. Carson and
Kent W. Becker combine extensive backgrounds in marriage and family
therapy and counseling to give you a unique resource that fills a
crucial gap in the therapy literature. The book explores various
aspects of creative thinking, personal characteristics of highly
creative therapists, creative techniques and interventions,
barriers to creative work, and creativity development. Not designed
as a cookbook for conducting therapy, Creativity in Psychotherapy
features practical techniques and interventions for conducting
therapy with children, adults, couples, and families. Creativity in
Psychotherapy: Reaching New Heights with Individuals, Couples, and
Families is a much-needed response to the need for a pragmatic
approach that makes sense, using methods, techniques, and
applications based in respected, established theoretical principles
and empirical research. The book establishes a mind-set the
therapist can use to work with clients in discovering creative
solutions, instead of viewing creative interventions as a grab bag
of techniques. Creativity in Psychotherapy includes: a look at the
various dimensions of creativity in counseling and psychotherapy an
overview of the relationship between creativity and healthy
functioning an examination of the connection between creativity and
dysfunction a review of the role of creativity in supervision a
survey of 142 therapists in the United States on the use of
creativity in their practices in-depth discussions, practical
examples, and illustrations Creative Incubation and Break Out of
The Box exercises in each chapter! Creativity in Psychotherapy:
Reaching New Heights with Individuals, Couples, and Families is
well-suited for use as a primary or supplemental textbook for
graduate and undergraduate courses in marriage and family therapy,
psychotherapy, and counseling, and can easily be adapted for use in
social work, counselor education, and clinical psychology courses.
The book is an essential read for practicing psychotherapists,
family therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and
other human service professionals.
