Praktická arteterapie - Metody a aktivity – Lhotová Marie (2024)

The main intention of the book is to demonstrate the use of artistic creation in various areas of creative work with people, both in individual and group settings. The first part of the book focuses on the theoretical foundations of art therapy, while the next part is dedicated to specific methods and themes related to expressive expression. The activities offered summarize the authors' long-standing experiences. They are not just an overview of art therapeutic techniques, but also refer to the approach to the creative individual with regard to the tasks they need to fulfill at different life stages and the risks that arise when they are unable to do so. The methods and techniques presented can be used in clinical settings and counseling, as well as in educational activities, social work, and art-based activities in visual education. There is also an explanation of effective factors in reducing the difficulties faced by patients/clients, such as when processing conflict, trauma, crisis, or decompensation of mental illness. Case examples and especially images are used to provide readers with a clear understanding.
