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.
Challenging traditional therapeutic approaches to the arts in which
art is often secondary to a psychological model, Principles and
Practice of Expressive Arts Therapy provides a coherent theoretical
framework for an expressive arts therapy practice that places the
process of art-making and the art work itself at the center. This
book lays the philosophical foundation for a fresh interpretation
of art-making and the therapeutic process by re-examining the
concept of poiesis. The authors clarify the methodology and theory
of practice with a focus on intermodal therapy, crystallization
theory and polyaesthetics, and give guidance on the didactics of
acquiring practical skills. Case studies of clinical practice and
guidance on supervision and training in intermodal expressive arts
therapy complement the theoretical chapters. Combining philosophy,
theory and practice, this book is an essential text for students
and academics in the field and for practicing expressive and
specialized arts therapists.
What are the basic attitudes, values, and practices that are
essential for effective work with the expressive arts? This book
explores the answer to that question. The authors examine in depth
the concepts of 'presence' - a way of 'being' - and 'process' - an
open and trusting way of working - in the professional helping
relationship and in the making of art. They introduce readers to
the premise of the 'uniqueness of persons' that underpins these
ideas, and look at how to realize them in practice. Diverse
experiences are also shared of using the arts in group and
individual work in a variety of settings, from team building and
education to counseling, psychotherapy and supervision. This book
is a comprehensive, foundational guide for all practitioners who
use the expressive arts as a way of facilitating learning, growth,
healing, and change, including expressive arts therapists and
students, counsellors, coaches, and other helping professionals.
With its clear structure and straight forward style, the book is
appropriate also for beginners in these professional fields.
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.
PETER PETERSEN Kunsttherapeutische Forschung ist Brachland,
jedenfalls im Ver gleich zur psychotherapeutischen und zur
medizinischen Forschung. Das mag verstandlich sein aus der
Tatsache, daB Kunsttherapien im strengeren Sinn sich erst im Laufe
dieses lahrhunderts entwickelt ha ben. ledoch trifft diese
neuerliche Entwicklung auch fiir die moder nen Formen von
Psychotherapie zu. Dagegen haben Psycho thera pien ihren festen
Platz als Forschungsdisziplin gefunden. DaB Psy chotherapien
inzwischen etablierte Forschungsdisziplinen geworden sind, diirfte
auch aus ihren differenzierten Begriffsbildungen erkenn barsein.
Eine Fachsprache, die zudem allgemeinverstandlich ist, haben die
Kunsttherapien bisher jedoch kaum entwickelt; daher ist dieses Buch
auch aus dem Bemiihen entstanden, Ansatze fiir eine solche "allge
meine Bergriffssprache" zu entwickeln. Begriffe werden dabei jedoch
weniger im Sinne strenger Definitionen gebraucht als im Sinne einer
tastenden Beschreibung - nicht so sehr die Definition im
nominalisti schen Sinn ist Anliegen der Verfasser, sondem mehr die
Phiinomen beschreibung im realistischen Sinn. In meiner mehr als
30jahrigen Bekanntschaft mit sehr verschiede nen
kunsttherapeutischen Schulen machte ich eine interessante Er
fahrung: Beim oberflachlichen Kennenlemen dieser Schulen scheint es
uniiberbriickbare Unterschiede zu geben - zunachst in Technik und
Methode, noch mehr aber in der technischen Bergriffsbildung; dies
erweckt den Eindruck einer babylonischen Sprachenverwirrung. Trotz
der manchmal bizarren, ins Ideologische gehenden Sprachab grenzung
von kunsttherapeutischen Schulen gegeneinander habe ich aber die
Erfahrung gemacht: Eine gemeinsame Sprache tritt dann zu tage, wenn
man nicht auf die verbalen Verwirrspiele achtet, sondem darauf, was
sich in der therapeutischen Aktion tatsachlich vollzieht."
The field of expressive arts is closely tied to the work of
therapeutic change. As well as being beneficial for the individual
or small group, expressive arts therapy has the potential for a
much wider impact, to inspire social action and bring about social
change. The book's contributors explore the transformative power of
the arts therapies in areas stricken by conflict, political unrest,
poverty or natural disaster and discuss how and why expressive arts
works. They look at the ways it can be used to engage community
consciousness and improve social conditions whilst taking into
account the issues that arise within different contexts and
populations. Leading expressive arts therapy practitioners give
inspiring accounts of their work, from using poetry as a tool in
trauma intervention with Iraqi survivors of war and torture, to
setting up storytelling workshops to aid the integration of
Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in Israel. Offering visionary
perspectives on the role of the arts in inspiring change at the
community or social level, this is essential reading for students
and practitioners of creative and expressive arts therapies, as
well as psychotherapists, counsellors, artists and others working
to effect social change.
Beratung, Therapie, Coaching kommen nicht ohne Sprache aus. Was
ausschliesslich sprachlich vermittelt wird, hat jedoch die Tendenz,
Prozesshaftes, Sinnlich-Vitales und Komplexes zu reduzieren, zu
verallgemeinern und festzuschreiben. Dies trifft auf kenstlerisches
Tun nicht zu - auch wenn es mit einfachsten Mitteln ausgeebt
wird.Das Autorenduo Herbert Eberhart und Paolo Knill hat eber
Jahrzehnte in Praxis und Ausbildung Erfahrungen mit dem
Ineinandergreifen von Sprache und kenstlerischem Tun gesammelt.
Entstanden ist ein Arbeitsansatz auf systemtheoretischer Grundlage,
der kenstlerisches Tun als Dezentrierung vom Belastenden und
Defizitaren verbindet mit einer ressourcenorientierten Sprache und
Haltung. Damit wird der Erkenntnis Rechnung getragen, dass
produktive Neuausrichtung ein Zurecktreten und Loslassen
voraussetzt.Detaillierte Praxisbeispiele zeigen die Vielfalt
konkreter Vorgehensweisen in verschiedenen Settings. Damit
verbunden ist eine theoretische Aufarbeitung des Einsatzes von
Sprache, Kunst und Spiel sowie die Darstellung der
erkenntnistheoretischen und methodologischen Wurzeln. Es werden die
Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit diskutiert wie auch die Frage der
Vermittlung der notwendigen professionellen Kompetenzen."Damit ist
das Buch gleichermassen fer Lehrende wie Lernende und fer
Theoretiker wie fer Praktiker eine wertvolle Quelle zur weiteren
Entwicklung und deren Reflexion" (Jergen Kriz).
Supervisors who wish to employ a more imaginative approach to their
work will find concepts such as 'aesthetic distancing' and
techniques derived from dramatherapy - the use of myths and
stories, dramatic play and roles - particularly useful. Supervision
and Dramatherapy explores the ways in which dramatherapy techniques
and concepts can be applied to supervision, and looks at how
supervisions are conducted within the field of dramatherapy. The
contributors, leading dramatherapists from Britain, Continental
Europe, the United States and Israel, have written on the
historical background of supervion in dramatherapy, the process of
dramatherapy supervision, the training of
supervisor-dramatherapists, taking a dramatherapy approach to
business supervisions, the supervision of crisis intervention teams
and dramatherapy research. They offer insights into the
relationships between supervisor, supervisee and client, and the
dramatic roles that unfold during the supervision process. Drawing
on their own experiences in clinical and non-clinical settings, and
richly illustrating their accounts with examples from practice,
they offer exciting and creative ways of effectively supervising
dramatherapists and non-dramatherapists alike.
