PSY 454 - Expressive Therapies (3)

A comprehensive introduction to and survey of the most common forms of expressive therapies including art, music, movement, drama, writing, play, sand tray, and integrative approaches as they are used with persons across the lifespan both individually and in groups. The ways in which these creative therapies can be used along with traditional forms of psychotherapy will also be explored. Although the course by itself does not prepare students to be professional expressive therapists, it will help students understand what the practice of these therapies might be like and will give students information about what would be involved in pursuing these career paths.
