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.

Step into the imaginative realm of one of the oldest continuous
cultures on Earth, the Kalahari Ju/'hoan Bushmen. Translated by
Beesa Boo, a Bushman, and interspersed with detailed commentary
from Bradford and Hillary Keeney, this book presents the core
teachings of the Kalahari Bushmen as told by the tribal elders
themselves. Decades in the making, it constitutes the first
comprehensive work on the world's oldest tradition of healing and
spiritual experience. Told in their own words, these teachings
reveal how the Bushmen are able to receive direct transmissions of
God's love in the form of the universal life force, n/om. The
individuals who are filled with this force describe it as an
awakened, energized feeling of love that inspires a spontaneous and
heightened ecstatic awareness that opens mystical perception.
Having your heart transfixed by this force enables true healing and
spiritual growth to occur. Experiencing the force in your entire
being, through a vision of "God's egg", awakens deep spiritual
wisdom and extraordinary healing gifts. Those who "own the egg" are
blessed with the ability to have direct communication with the
Divine, a "rope to God," and can communicate with others for all
"ropes" are connected. Conveying the deep love that is the dominant
emotion of Bushman spirituality, the book explores tribal legends
and teaching tales, the importance of dreams and encounters with
animals, the origins of their dances, such as the giraffe dance,
and specific rituals and ceremonies, including puberty rites for
boys and girls.
