Expressive arts therapy is introduced in this exploration of the
basic principles and foundations in using the arts in
psychotherapy. A discussion of polyaesthetics, crystallization,
intermodal theory, and the roles of expression and catharsis
provide a theoretical foundation for understanding this creative
approach to therapy. Asking the question "What happens when a
client's art-making is received by the therapist?, the special
considerations in the practice of expressive arts therapy are
summarized, including relationship as art, play, structure and
framing, low-skill and high-sensitivity work, and the phenomenon of
the surprising experience that comes when a therapist and client
work in a creative space together. This is a fundamental resource
for all who consider the use of the arts in therapy.
