Description
Presenting a neuroscientifically aware approach to art therapy.
The relational context is the most important component of arts-based therapy work. This book demonstrates how this is so, explains the major art relational neuroscience principles relevant to art therapy and shows how they can be used to help clients with autobiographical memory, reflecting and creating, touch and space, meaning-making, emotions, and dealing with long-term stress and trauma.
The ATR-N approach, first developed by Noah Hass-Cohen, is comprised of six principles:
- Creative Embodiment
- Relational Resonating
- Expressive Communicating
- Adaptive Responding
- Transformative Integrating
- Empathizing and Compassion (CREATE)
