Action Therapy With Families And Groups: Using Creative Arts Improvisation In Clinical Practice

A companion volume to Beyond Talk Therapy, this book features three in-depth chapters on Family and five on Group therapy that illustrate how a variety of action methods were central to the conduct of the therapy in each case. Cases studies were chosen to represent the broad spectrum of client compositions encountered in family and group treatment: three-generational family systems; intact and blended (step-) nuclear families; multiple family groups; and theme-centered groups with a diversity of populations and presenting problems. The featured clients are diverse with respect to psychosocial functioning, therapeutic setting, and economic resources. While the client population treated in each of the cases is specific, many of the action methods described may be applied to conjoint psychotherapy across a broad range of populations. All chapters give a theoretical orientation and detailed rationale concerning the choice of method at that point in the case.
