Art and the therapeutic uses of art provide older adults with valuable ways in which to express and share their feelings, needs and fears, and with a resource for coping with life's major changes. This practical book is filled with step-by-step exercises for art therapists and other professionals to use in work with older adults, either individually or in groups.
The author provides brief, imaginative warm-ups, which encourage participants to become more at ease expressing themselves creatively. She offers ideas for engaging and innovative creative projects across a range of media, including art, music, movement, poetry and creative writing, all of which can be adapted, personalised or combined to meet the particular needs of individual participants. Points to consider when working with this client group are explored, and case study examples, with participants' artwork, are included throughout. Appropriate for use with all relatively able older adults, including those with depression, anxiety or in the early stages of dementia, this will be an invaluable tool for art therapists as well as counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers and carers.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Jessica Kingsley PublishersISBN-13:9781849058308ISBN-10:184905830XUPC:9781849058308Book Category:PsychologyBook Subcategory:Psychotherapy, DevelopmentalBook Topic:Adulthood & AgingSize:8.90 x 5.90 x 1.00 inchesWeight:1.1Product ID:SCP6ZSSA3B
