Book Description

Publication Date: May 1 2011 | ISBN-10: 1849058202 | ISBN-13: 978-1849058209 | Edition: 1
The field of expressive arts is closely tied to the work of therapeutic change. As well as being beneficial for the individual or small group, expressive arts therapy has the potential for a much wider impact, to inspire social action and bring about social change. The book's contributors explore the transformative power of the arts therapies in areas stricken by conflict, political unrest, poverty or natural disaster and discuss how and why expressive arts works. They look at the ways it can be used to engage community consciousness and improve social conditions whilst taking into account the issues that arise within different contexts and populations. Leading expressive arts therapy practitioners give inspiring accounts of their work, from using poetry as a tool in trauma intervention with Iraqi survivors of war and torture, to setting up storytelling workshops to aid the integration of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in Israel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting and encouraging Feb 16 2013
By Anna
Format:Paperback
This book was a textbook for a class I attended at the Canadian School of Peacebuilding, and gave a lot of context, inspiration and understanding of expressive arts therapy, and the social, political, and healing power the arts have. Different educational institutions were mentioned, which raised my awareness of places to study things that excite me. Each chapter is a different author's work and stories.
