CREATIVE APPROACHES IN COUNSELING

Catalog description

This course will examine the use of creative approaches in counseling. Particular attention will be given to the neuroscience of creativity and to specific modalities, including imagery and visual art, music, literature, drama, play and humor, movement, and makerspace. Each of these forms-individually and in combination-helps work with and understand clients and ourselves. Students will be given an opportunity to reflect on how they might use creative approaches in their work with clients and with themselves. Specific techniques will be demonstrated through experiential activities in the online classroom.
