Tending the Fire - Studies in Art, Therapy and Creativity (Paperback)

Exploring the arts in therapy, this book investigates the concept that creativity is an essential element of psychotherapy. A process of "tending the fire" of the arts in therapy allows play and experimentation to enter the therapeutic space and enlighten the experience for both client and therapist. Through the author's own personal art-making journal, an outlining of the aspects of the theory of creativity in the therapeutic process, and the author's practical application of expressive arts therapy in various clinical settings, this text demonstrates how forms of sensory and artistic expression can help clients arrive at surprising new possibilities in therapy and life.
