Description

DBT-informed Art Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach This book provides an in-depth understanding of DBT-informed art therapy, combining the structure and skill development of Dialectical Behavior Therapy with the creativity and non-verbal communication of art therapy. The result is a powerful tool for treating patients who are resistant to talking therapy. The book explores the growing literature and research on DBT-informed art therapy, drawing upon the work of pioneers in the field. It explains different types of DBT-informed art therapy and the core principles at its heart: Mindfulness, Metaphor, and Mastery. The author also includes creative visual exercises and activities to help develop key skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and non-judgemental acceptance. By applying the principles outlined in this book, practitioners can enhance their practice and provide more effective support for clients struggling with emotional regulation and self-harm.
