Using Art Play Metaphor And Symbol With Hard-To-Reach Young Clients Reach Out To Me | Mental Health

This book demonstrates some of the unique ways in which therapists can help complex and vulnerable clients considered hard-to-reach using arts media and play. Using a wealth of case studies contributors describe their unique therapeutic attempts to reach clients who for various reasons seem unreachable. These moving therapeutic journeys are described in a phenomenological auto-ethnographic way by the therapists themselves as a series of snapshot glimpses into the therapy room. The therapists describe how combinations of art play metaphor and imagination have helped them navigate the complex pathways to reach their clients. Each chapter is fully supported by the contributing therapists' own selection of theoretical ideas and analysis. The book will help therapists consider innovate creative approaches in their work with clients who have been deemed too complex to work with in individual therapy emphasising the importance of play and arts resources in helping them achieve this. |Using Art Play Metaphor and Symbol with Hard-to-Reach Young Clients Reach Out To Me | Mental Health
