Download or read book Process in the Arts Therapies written by Ann Cattanach and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts therapists are becoming increasingly interested in process as it is manifested in their work. The multiplicity of levels at which process operates is the theme of this new book. What happens during a therapy session is examined, as are the client's response, which is experienced through the medium of the art form itself, and the evolution of the relationship between therapist and client. Perspectives from across the arts therapy spectrum are included, with contributions from practitioners in dramatherapy, play therapy, music therapy, and dance movement therapy. Re-evaluating the nature of practice, Process in the Arts Therapies expands and develops the theory.
