Download or read book The Creative Therapist in Practice written by Hillary Keeney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Creative Therapist in Practice Hillary and Bradford Keeney present a radically innovative approach to the practice of therapy. Combining improvisational performing arts, action-oriented cybernetics, and ecstatic healing traditions, therapy is re-imagined as a creative transformative art. The book demonstrates the principles of creative therapy through numerous transcriptions of sessions conducted by the authors. It guides practitioners in conducting a three-part therapeutic performance: beginning with therapeutic techniques that broaden the context, igniting a session to creatively "cook," and finally concluding with a creative prescription for change that can be incorporated into the client’s daily living. As well as tracing the historical development of creative therapy, chapters explore what is possible for the future of therapy when practitioners leave behind conventional models and theoretical interpretations. Applying case examples of creative therapy to a wide range of presenting concerns, The Creative Therapist in Practice will be relevant to clinicians working across the field of mental health, including licensed psychotherapists, psychologists, and clinical social workers. Filled with inspiring anecdotes, unique interventions, and fascinating case illustrations, it will benefit anyone looking to become more naturally improvisational and wake up the creative life force in their sessions.

Download or read book Blue Moon written by Elise Noble and published by Undercover Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know what they say about showbiz? They love to build you up, and then they tear you down. Luna Maara never wanted to be a star, but by the time she realised she hated the limelight, she was in too deep. Sold-out concerts, fans screaming her name on the street, memes going viral whenever parts of her fell out of a costume. Oh, and stalkers. Don’t forget the stalkers. The latest one calls himself Mark Antony, and he sends her linguine carbonara and…dog treats? Most people think she has it all—the fame, the money, the luxurious lifestyle. But under the facade, there’s nothing but an empty shell. Everyone close to her lies, or takes advantage of her, or both. Her family, her friends—she can’t trust anyone. Not even Ryder. Somehow, her former bodyguard’s betrayal hurt most of all. Former SEAL Ryder Metcalfe never meant to fall in love again, but during a nightmare trip to the Caribbean, a prickly pop princess wormed her way under his skin. And then she ditched him. Which was his own fault, and also his biggest regret. He can’t turn back the clock. He can’t change fate. But somebody else can. When Luna’s scared, there’s only one person to call. Only one man she trusts, with her body if not with her heart. Mark Antony might gift Ryder a second chance, but he’s determined the star-crossed couple won’t get a third. Blue Moon is a story of second chances and self-discovery with plenty of dark humour and a morally grey girl squad. There’s also some grovelling and a dog. Who doesn’t love a dog?
