Cognitive-behavioral art therapy. Rosal M. L.

In this unique book, two seemingly mutually exclusive areas of psychotherapy are connected: art therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. They can be compared with a trembling lan and a horse, which is lucky the main load. The purpose of this book is to propose a comprehensive review of the KPATE for art therapists and other mental health specialists who want to understand and independently evaluate the capabilities of art therapy in the context of its consideration as an integral part of the CPT. The book begins with the analysis of historical roots of both cognitive-behavioral and art therapy, as well as modern practices and models of their implementation. For a deeper understanding of these areas and their development prospects, the book includes thematic blocks of therapy with the help of art. Readers will get acquainted with the history of work with images and imagination in psychotherapy in general and in cognitive-behavioral therapy (KPT) in particular.
