Published in collaboration with the American Counseling Association, Counseling as an Art examines the use of creative arts in counseling through the respected voice of Samuel T. Gladding. Chapters are written in a logical sequence, exploring seven specific art forms, and the research and techniques that support their use in clinical settings. Each chapter offers inspiring ideas for working with special populations and strategies for using various art forms in concert with one another. Designed to enrich many counseling courses, the text provides a unique combination of history, theory and application and demonstrates all the creative arts have to offer the healing and helping professions.

Covers a broad range of creative arts–and their potential in the counseling process.

  • Introduces readers to seven specific art forms–music, dance and movement, imagery, visual arts, literature, drama, play and humor–and shows how and why they can be effective in the helping process.
  • Discusses how to use various art forms in concert with one another to enhance the counseling process.   (See pgs. V-VIII; 48-51; 131-133)

Explores how to use art forms with a variety of clients in a variety of clinical settings–throughout the text.

  • Provides research-based strategies for using art forms with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, families and couples, groups and more.
  • Prepares readers for the diversity in their client base and gives them field-tested strategies that work with specific populations.  (See pgs. 28-35; 124-130)

Presents the history, rationale and current trends in the use of the arts in counseling–as a framework for the text.

  • Grounds material in research and shows readers the multidimensional nature–and the growth and development–of the profession.  (See ch. 1 and ch. 9)

Includes art-related exercises–at the end of many chapters.

  • Encourages readers to apply chapter material and understand techniques through their own research and experience.  (See pgs. 78-79, 133-134; 184)
