This book is ideal for expressive arts therapists, eco-therapists, mental health professionals, and students interested in innovative therapeutic approaches combining creativity and nature.

Description

Each of the contributors explores a particular specialisation and outlines the implementation of multi-professional and multi-modal "earth-based" creative/expressive interventions. These are interventions that practitioners can use in their daily work with patients who have various clinical needs.

Different forms of creative/expressive practices—such as creative writing, play therapy techniques, visual arts, expressive music, and dramatic performances—are included. These practices are combined with wilderness and animal-assisted therapy to maximise the spectrum of treatment options.

Environmental Expressive Therapies represents a variety of practical approaches and tools for therapists to use in order to achieve multiple treatment goals and promote sustainable lifestyles for individuals, families, and communities.
