SynopsisCreativity can be vital to mental health and well-being. Featuring case accounts from therapeutic journeys that have used creative approaches, Creativity and Cognitive Analytic Therapy explores how both novice and seasoned CAT therapists can engage relationally with their creative selves and in doing so enable a more open and flexible exploration with their clients and trainees. The book is structured in three parts. The first sets the scene by discussing creativity and play as an aspect of mental health. The second considers the creative as a freestanding therapeutic approach in forms such as dramatherapy and imagery work, or as a nonverbal means for accessing, expressing and healing trauma - with detailed techniques that can be integrated into practice. The final part looks at a variety of ways in which individual trainers and supervisors have merged their own interests and gifts with the CAT framework., Creativity can be a vital component of mental health and well-being. Drawing on a wide range of examples of therapeutic journeys that have made use of creative approaches, Creativity and Mental Health explores how both novice and seasoned therapists can draw on ideas and concepts from Cognitive Analytic Therapy, harness the power of openness and imagination, and integrate a variety of playful and relational techniques into their professional work. The book is structured in three parts. Part 1 sets the scene by discussing creativity and play as a core aspect of mental health. Part 2 considers the creative as a freestanding therapeutic approach in forms such as dramatherapy and imagery work, or as a nonverbal means for accessing, expressing and healing trauma, with detailed techniques that can be integrated into practice. Finally, Part 3 looks at a rich variety of ways in which individual trainers and supervisors have merged their own interests and gifts with the integrative CAT framework. Exploring topics including the neurobiology of play, relational dialogues with the inner child, reflective supervision, neurodivergence and self-states and the Seven Ages of Man, Creativity and Mental Health is an essential guide to harnessing openness and imagination, engaging relationally with our creative selves, and enabling a more open and flexible exploration with our clients and trainees., Creativity can be vital to mental health and well-being. Featuring case accounts from therapeutic journeys that have used creative approaches, Creativity and Cognitive Analytic Therapy explores how both novice and seasoned CAT therapists can engage relationally with their creative selves and in doing so enable a more open and flexible exploration ......
