Integrating the Expressive Arts Into Counseling Practice provides a comprehensive framework for using creative, arts-based interventions within counseling and psychotherapy. Grounded in theory and clinical practice, this book demonstrates how expressive arts can enhance communication, foster self-discovery, and promote healing.

The 2nd edition expands on the first with updated research, multicultural perspectives, and new interventions that align with a variety of counseling theories, including cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches. It includes case examples, step-by-step guidance, and practical applications for working with children, adolescents, and adults in diverse settings.

Designed for both counseling students and practicing clinicians, this resource equips professionals to effectively incorporate art, music, drama, movement, and other creative modalities into their therapeutic work.
