The Therapeutic Use of Symbol, Image & Metaphor |
||||
|
|
This day long workshop is designed to offer
clinicians and graduate level students a learning experience applicable
to a wide variety of clinical populations, in both individual and group
therapy formats. The focus of the workshop will be on facilitating
expression and the subsequent understanding of the symbolic and
metaphorical language of the creative arts in play therapy.
A portion of the workshop will
offer those attending the opportunity to experiment with art and play
media through role play and experiential exercises that will offer
skills in facilitating, containing and dialoguing with the metaphorical
communication, images, and symbols that are elicited through the
creative arts. No experience in the arts in necessary, and all
activities are designed to be safe, comfortable, and non-threatening.
