Creative Arts–Based Approaches With Adolescent Groups

This chapter provides an overview of creative arts-based approaches with adolescents in group treatment. Current theory, practice, and research in arts-based approaches are explored. Clinicians will learn how the creative arts can be integrated into best practices for meeting the needs of young people in group therapy. Though the chapter focuses primarily on adolescents, it should be noted that many of the techniques outlined can be easily adapted for working with younger children.
