Description

Creative Therapies for Complex Trauma: Helping Children and Families in Foster Care, Kinship Care or Adoption This innovative book presents models for working with children in foster care, kinship care or adoption to recover from complex trauma. It describes a range of creative therapeutic approaches, including art psychotherapy, music therapy and dance therapy, which are grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology and neurobiology. The book emphasizes the importance of working with caregivers and other significant adults, as well as the child, to facilitate recovery. It provides practical guidance on assessing needs and contextual considerations for working with children and families. Suitable for professionals directly employing creative approaches in their practice, such as arts therapists and play therapists, this book is also useful for psychologists, counsellors, therapists and social workers looking for alternative approaches. By exploring the theoretical foundations of these creative therapies, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone working with children who have experienced complex trauma.
