Expressive and Creative Arts Therapies

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the transpersonal orientation, which includes the spiritual as well as the psychological dimension of experience. Although traditional psychological approaches work with one or more of the psychological, emotive, cognitive, and even somatic and mythological dimensions of human experience, transpersonal psychology includes all these within a philosophical and psychological perspective that grounds all these modalities within a broader spiritual context. The chapter outlines some of the major creative arts therapies (practices and methods also utilized by expressive arts therapists) focusing specifically on art therapy, music therapy, dance/movement therapy, and drama/psychodrama therapy.
