Клиническая и социальная арт-терапия

"Clinical and Social Art Therapy" reflects the expansion of the spectrum of different forms and areas of art therapy usage in domestic and foreign therapeutic, preventive, and rehabilitation practices. New approaches in art therapeutic work are presented, supported by the development of the biopsychosocial paradigm of modern medicine and reflecting changes in social and cultural conditions. The main significant trends in improving art therapeutic assistance, its forms, and methods are presented. The social and clinical directions in modern art therapy, as the most dynamically developing and complementing each other facets of a holistic phenomenon, are supported and illustrated by articles from experienced practitioners and well-known experts.
This publication fills the gap in methodological information concerning some promising and relevant directions and forms of art therapeutic work, such as: assistance to socially vulnerable groups of the population, dysfunctional families and communities, refugees and migrants, the elderly and senior citizens, war veterans, offenders, patients with mental disorders and addictions, etc.
The book is addressed to doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, and other helping professionals, especially those who are proficient in art therapy methods.
