Expressive Arts Therapy for Traumatized Children and Adolescents by Carmen Richardson

Expressive Arts Therapy for Traumatized Children and Adolescents by Carmen Richardson

Expressive Arts Therapy for Traumatized Children and Adolescentsis the book so many expressive arts and trauma therapists have been waiting for.

"A wealth of interventions can be used during this programmeI particularly like the Stop, Slow, Go cards within phase two that clients can select and show to the therapist if they sense their trauma being ‘triggered’, and the jigsaw pieces indicating different aspects of the client’s trauma, which can be stored in decorated boxes until they are ready to work through them. I can see a use for them in several other therapeutic settings…this is a solid book with a wealth of useful information." – Eileen Wilson, Private Practice

"Richardson's text is both concrete and inspired. Her trauma-recovery program, evidence based and developmentally sound, skillfully reintegrates mind/body connection through process-oriented art making. Well done." – Elizabeth Graves, PhD, assistant professor, counselor educator, and director of the professional school counseling program at Appalachian State University

"The sensory experience is an integral aspect of storytelling that is missed in many therapeutic languages. This book illuminates how enriching therapy can be when memories are expressed not only verbally but also through images, sounds, and movement. Richardson captures the power of creative arts and how they can be utilized, especially when sharing can be challenging and painful. An invaluable resource not only because it has amazing examples of how to integrate the arts, but also as a way for the reader to instantly gain an entire portfolio of interventions!"– Cassandra F. Goodman, licensed professional clinical counselor and art therapist at Levine, Risen, and Associates
