Creative Inspirations from the Field: Staying Engaged with the Arts
Course Description

Through 10 video interviews/presentations with international professional practitioners from the field of Expressive Arts Therapy, participants will get the opportunity to get inspired and revitalize their creative clinical practice. These clinicians have opened their doors to share how they creatively integrate the expressive arts into their work through a variety of theoretical and practical approaches. These include, but are not limited to, play and improvisation, attunement, music and imagery, puppetry, Focusing Oriented Expressive Arts, Person-Centered Expressive Arts, Expressive Arts in trauma work, and the Expressive Therapies Continuum.
