  Book Author

  I co- authored with Wende Heath, The Expressive Arts Activity Book, a best seller in the field of Expressive Arts Therapy, published by Jessica Kingsley Press. This resource comprises a collection of accessible, flexible, tried-and-tested activities for use with people in a range of care settings, to help them explore their knowledge of themselves and to make sense of their experiences. Among the issues addressed by the activities are exploring physical changes, emotional trauma, interpersonal problems and spiritual dilemmas. Featuring individual and group activities of varying difficulty, including card making, painting to music, meditation, and body mapping, it also includes real-life anecdotes that bring the techniques to life. The Expressive Arts Activity Book is full of fun, easy, creative ideas for workers in hospitals, clinics, schools, hospices, spiritual and religious settings, and in private practice. When coping with serious illness, invasive medical procedures, drug treatments, and, in some cases, terminal illness, art expression is a powerful method for dealing with physical changes, emotional trauma, interpersonal problems and spiritual dilemmas. It can also help relieve the stress of the hospital experience, which many patients find frighjtening and isolating, separarting them from the comforts of home, family and friends. This resource book presents a collection of accessible, tried and tested art therapy activities ranging from individual card making, painting to music, meditation and body mapping to group activities such as collage book asse, bling, mural painting and round robin drawing. It is scattered with real-life anecdotes that bring the techiques to life. The Expessive Arts Activity Book provides guidelines and new ideas for seasoned practitioners working in health and mental health settings, l as well as new practitioners, trainees or students.Product Identifiers ISBN-10 1843108615 ISBN-13 9781843108610 Show less
