Summary:

"Witness first-hand how the ground-breaking method of Expressive Art Therapy was conceptualized with Herbert Eberhart and Paolo Knill, translated into English for the first time. Understand where the origins of expressive arts therapy were established and develop your practice with case studies and theoretical framework"-- Provided by publisher.

Counselling, therapy, and coaching always work with the use of language. With art-oriented approaches, the limitations of language can be overcome. One of the most important works of expressive arts therapy, Lösungskunst is now available in English translation. The key concept of intermodality- the authors' term for oscillation between art-analog methods- combines with the primary focus on resources and strong emphasis on solutions to lay the groundwork for the method that is as vital now as it was originally. The importance of imagination, artistic and aesthetic experience to mental wellbeing is showcased, challenging the common focus on the cognitive and emotional facets of mental health. In-depth case studies and explanations illuminate the origins and use of the theoretical frameworks, helping experienced practitioners and trainees alike to engage with the fundamental methods and concepts of expressive arts therapy.
