商品簡介
Coholic (social work, Laurentian U., Canada) presents interventions and exercises drawn from practice and research for helping, health, and education practitioners to use in holistic arts-based groups or one-on-one sessions with children in need, to help them cope with stress, trauma, and loss, explore their feelings, and build resilience, self-awareness, and self-esteem. The methods discussed are broader than art therapy and can be used by a variety of practitioners, and include games, physical activities, meditations, and guided imageries, along with drawing, writing, clay modeling, and other arts. The book also addresses the rationale for using arts-based and holistic interventions, specific issues that arise in work with children who have experienced difficulties, spirituality, mindfulness-based practice, dreams, and working in groups.
