Counselling, therapy, and coaching always work with the use of
language. With art-oriented approaches, the limitations of language
can be overcome. One of the most important works of expressive arts
therapy, Loesungskunst is now available in English translation. The
key concept of intermodality- the authors' term for oscillation
between art-analog methods- combines with the primary focus on
resources and strong emphasis on solutions to lay the groundwork
for the method that is as vital now as it was originally. The
importance of imagination, artistic and aesthetic experience to
mental wellbeing is showcased, challenging the common focus on the
cognitive and emotional facets of mental health. In-depth case
studies and explanations illuminate the origins and use of the
theoretical frameworks, helping experienced practitioners and
trainees alike to engage with the fundamental methods and concepts
of expressive arts therapy.
Poetry is increasingly used in therapy, and it already occupies a
central place in expressive arts therapies. This book is the first
to explicitly combine theory and practice from the field of
expressive arts with poetry and poetics. The book offers both a
guide and poetic encouragement for using poetry in expressive arts
work. Within this arts context, poetry is offered as a way to
create hope and confidence, providing clients with a platform for
healing, reconciliation, problem solving, and personal and
professional development. Each chapter uses examples of poetry to
illustrate the ideas of the chapter. With an outstanding
contribution to the field of expressive arts theory and practice,
this book is essential for people wanting to use an integrative
arts-based approach to help their clients build resilience and
foster sustainable, positive change in their lives.
