Description
DBT-Informed Art Therapy in Practice: Skillful Means in Action by Susan M. Clark. This edited guide explores how DBT-informed art therapy can be used to treat a range of client groups, offering a unique approach that combines the structure and skill development of DBT with the creativity and non-verbal communication of art therapy. By using visual art as a component, this method can be particularly effective for patients who are resistant to talking therapies. The book is divided into two parts, with Part I focusing on DBT-informed art therapy in its purest form, and Part II introducing multi-modal approaches that incorporate poetry, movement, and other forms of expression. International contributors share their expertise on working with diverse populations, including those with suicidal behaviours, eating disorders, and personality disorders. By exploring these different approaches, this guide provides a comprehensive resource for practitioners looking to integrate art therapy into their DBT-informed practice.
