This collection reflects on the theory and application of expressive arts today in therapy, education, research and social and ecological change.

​

Bringing the understanding of expressive arts into its contemporary theoretical framework, the book reveals the expansion of the field from its initial focus on therapy alone into a diverse range of other areas of interest to therapists, educators, researchers and those interested in working for social and ecological change. The book also contains a selection of discursive writing, poetry and visual art, highlighting the importance of keeping artistic creativity at the heart of the field. 

​

With contributions from pioneering arts therapists, this will be vital reading for arts therapists and students in the field today.
