Discover creative new ways to facilitate the therapeutic process
Therapeutic modalities that psychotherapists usually rely on--such
as psychodynamic, humanistic, systems, cognitive, narrative,
analytic and solution focused--are all verbal interventions.
Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies presents a
comprehensive overview of complementary and alternative therapeutic
interventions that go beyond the standard verbal approaches. The
therapies presented in this book--including mindfulness and
meditation, spirituality, poetry therapy, art therapy, psychodrama,
dance/movement therapy, music therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and
touch therapy--provide the reader with creative non-traditional
modalities that are effective in conjunction with traditional
treatment, or as substitutes. They may enrich talk-therapy,
especially when therapists and/or clients get "stuck," or they may
provide healing on their own.
Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies explains
the basics about how these nontraditional therapies work and
provides vivid examples for utilizing them in treatment. Each
chapter is written by an expert in the field of expertise, and
includes a description of the approach, research evidence about its
effectiveness, guidelines on how to use the therapy in practice,
and case examples. This excellent volume also provides
practitioners with a wide range of resources, including Web sites,
information on state and national organizations, accrediting board
info, and more. Topics in Introduction to Complementary and
Alternative Therapies include: the mind-body relationship ways to
