Description
Amy Backos explores the therapeutic potential of art in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This comprehensive guide delves into the complexities of PTSD, its development and treatment through art therapy. The author shares practical strategies and interventions based on her extensive experience, as well as insights into how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can inform art therapy approaches. The book covers a range of contexts, including adult survivors of rape, veterans, children in group homes, and patients in substance use facilities. By examining the impact of avoidance on maintaining PTSD symptoms, Backos offers a nuanced understanding of this condition and its treatment through creative expression. Practical advice and theoretical foundations are intertwined throughout the book, providing a valuable resource for art therapists, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in exploring the therapeutic potential of art in addressing PTSD.
