Creative Counseling by Deborah Duenyas

Creative Counseling: Empowering Health through Makerspace Innovation provides counselors and mental health professionals with a framework for incorporating makerspace ideology into therapeutic practices. The book presents a hands-on approach, advocating for the inclusion of making, creating, and innovating as tools for therapeutic growth. The text offers insight into the core principles of makerspace—a focus on process over product, practical learning, an iterative mindset, and encouragement of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Structured around the STIIR model (Space, Tinker, Ideate, Innovate, Reflect), the book traverses from theoretical underpinnings to practical applications in various settings, including individual, group, family, and educational contexts. It devotes significant attention to the integration of Maker Therapy across different theoretical approaches and techniques, illustrating its adaptability and utility in diverse clinical situations. Creative Counseling: Empowering Health through Makerspace Innovation is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in counseling, psychology, and related mental health fields. It serves as a foundational text providing robust support for students and practitioners looking to implement or expand their skill sets in creative therapeutic methods.
