Читать книгу The Creative Arts in Counseling - Samuel Gladding T., Samuel T. Gladding - Страница 17

Having considered the vital aspects of what creativity is and what the creative arts are, we can now examine in an informed manner the ways in which the creative arts have affected counseling. Many of the creative arts, such as drama, music, and dance, have had long and distinguished associations with healing and mental health services (Corsini, 2001; Westhenen & Fritz, 2014). Almost all art forms have been used since ancient times to help prevent distress and remediate internal and external strife. Some of their most notable contributions to mental health services are chronicled here according to broad time periods.
