Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Psychotherapist Paints is a unique account of an internationally known psychotherapist and group analyst’s struggle to bring together his psychological experience and his interests and talent as an artist. This book describes a body of painting that was responsive to a major existential challenge, the COVID-19 pandemic, but which also comes from deeply personal experience; the paintings are a mirror of life through the decades. These paintings, fifty of which are included here in full colour, were mainly presented online to groups both small and large, who were invited to participate in a dialogue that became a vital part of the developing project. The value of this dialogue is reflected in the author’s concept of the "artist's matrix", describing the social context in which an artist produces and presents their work. The paintings, together with the autobiographical narrative and the groups’ generativity, combine to produce a moving testament to our times. Intrinsic to A Psychotherapist Paints is a question about what makes us creative and how creativity transforms our lives. The result is a work of both artistic and psychological power that will inspire psychotherapists, art psychotherapists and artists themselves, and will point to exciting new possibilities in all these fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use the therapeutic potential of art to make progress in your practice Artful Therapy shows you how to use art to make a difference in therapy. Using visual imagery and art creation, you can help people with medical problems understand how they feel about their illness; victims of abuse "tell without talking"; and substance abuse and eating disorder clients tap into unresolved issues. These are just a few examples of how the power of art can improve your practice. Ideal for mental health professionals and allied workers with little or no art background, this accessible and proven guide takes you through the techniques of using art and visual imagery, and shows you how they can benefit clients of varying ages and abilities. With the art therapy tools provided, you can open potentially groundbreaking new dialogues with your clients. Author Judith Aron Rubin draws on more than forty years experience as an art therapist to help you maximize the value of art as a therapeutic tool, in both the mental health disciplines, such as psychology and social work, and related specialties. An accompanying DVD contains models for practitioners, showing art therapy being used in actual clinical practice. The DVD clearly models: * Initiating the art-making process * Using art in assessment * Using mental imagery, with or without art * Implementing other art forms--such as drama and music--in therapy * Using art with a variety of client types, including children, families, and groups * Assigning art as "homework" Whether or not you have used art therapy with your clients or are thinking about integrating art therapy in your practice, making the most of art in the clinical setting begins with Artful Therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Art Media in Psychotherapy makes a thoughtful and contextual argument for using graphic art materials in psychotherapy, providing historical context for art materials and their uses and incorporating them with contemporary practices and theories. Written with an analytic focus, many of the psychological references nod to Jung and post-Jungian thought with keen attention to image and to symbolic function. This book jettisons the idea of reductionist, cookbook approaches and instead provides an integrated and contextual understanding of the origins of each art form as well as an insightful use for each in its application in mental health healing practices. Using Art Media in Psychotherapy gives clinicians and students alike the tools they need to offer psychologically minded and clinically astute choices that honor their clients.

Book excerpt: The term 'art therapy' was coined when it was recognised that painting, drawing and modelling had healing effects on people. The early practitioners saw themselves as facilitators in setting free a spontaneous imaginative activity. Now verbal explorations of the image produced tend to predominate. Here Martina Thomson makes an eloquent plea for the therapist to return to a trust in the therapeutic value of the creative process itself. Drawing on her memories of working with some of the great pioneers of art therapy, and on her own experience as a painter and as an art therapy practitioner, her argument surfaces gently through observation, speculation, case history, and quotations from artists, poets and analysts. Beautifully and elegantly written, this book will be richly suggestive for everyone concerned with creativity in the therapeutic process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Therapy Directives: An Intervention Toolbox is an all-inclusive manual of art therapy directives designed to be a comprehensive and organized resource for art therapists and other trained mental health professionals. Art therapy directives are directions for creating art and often require use of specific art media, both of which are tailored to the client’s particular need. Using this book, art therapists will be able to search by population, themes, and art media to find just the right project for their session whether working with individuals or in groups. Comprised of a compilation from traditional art therapy directives, the author’s own experiences, and other published practices, a wide range of mental health topics are included such as depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and trauma. Special consideration is given to populations like adolescents, older adults, veterans, and the LGBTQ+ community. This manual is the answer that many in the field of art therapy have been missing for an all-encompassing, organized reference book to guide art therapy sessions with a wide variety of client populations. .

Book excerpt: We are often not aware of how each of us is filled with wisdom and potential from within. An important goal of painting therapy is to sense impulses from the unconscious and provide them with an opportunity for visual expression. The result, as richly illustrated in this book, can often provide increased awareness of unrealized resources and creative possibilities. On the basis of 10 impressive series of paintings, Ingrid Riedel and Christa Henzler demonstrate how the colors and forms of a painted picture can bring repressed material to the fore and have diagnostic possibilities, along with prognostic aspects. Like dreams, they are essential sources of rich material for therapeutic work in either individual or group settings. Professor Ingrid Riedel is a Jungian analyst with doctorates in theology and German studies. An honorary professor for the psychology of religion, she maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Constance, and is a lecturer and training analyst at the C.G. Jung Institutes in Zürich and in Stuttgart. She is the author of numerous books and articles in German. Christa Henzler is a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Constance, a trainer for analytic and depth psychology-based psychotherapy and a lecturer, training analyst and supervisor at the C.G. Jung Institutes in Zürich and in Stuttgart.
