CBT and Artistic Therapies [EPUB ebook] 
An Unlikely Marriage

This is a must read for all Cognitive Behavioural therapists who need to expand their counselling tools to include interventions that are suitable for clients that have low levels of verbal skills or are non-communicative. These artistic sequences are particularly suitable for children and adolescents. This radically new approach to the artistic therapies provides repeatable sequences for counsellors that are compatible with the core tenants of CBT therapy including relaxation and self-regulation, guided image creation, social skills training, behavioural experiments, restructuring and reframing, exposure, desensitisation and relapse prevention. These repeatable step by step sequences using artistic languages of colour, sound, clay, sand and drama provide innovative and transformative techniques. This unlikely marriage between CBT and these Artistic therapy sequences promises to be very fertile.
