In The Creative Therapist in Practice Hillary and Bradford Keeney
present a radically innovative approach to the practice of therapy.
Combining improvisational performing arts, action-oriented
cybernetics, and ecstatic healing traditions, therapy is
re-imagined as a creative transformative art. The book demonstrates
the principles of creative therapy through numerous transcriptions
of sessions conducted by the authors. It guides practitioners in
conducting a three-part therapeutic performance: beginning with
therapeutic techniques that broaden the context, igniting a session
to creatively "cook," and finally concluding with a creative
prescription for change that can be incorporated into the client's
daily living. As well as tracing the historical development of
creative therapy, chapters explore what is possible for the future
of therapy when practitioners leave behind conventional models and
theoretical interpretations. Applying case examples of creative
therapy to a wide range of presenting concerns, The Creative
Therapist in Practice will be relevant to clinicians working across
the field of mental health, including licensed psychotherapists,
psychologists, and clinical social workers. Filled with inspiring
anecdotes, unique interventions, and fascinating case
illustrations, it will benefit anyone looking to become more
naturally improvisational and wake up the creative life force in
their sessions.
