Expressive therapy , also known as expressive arts therapy or creative arts therapy , is the use of the creative arts as a form of therapy . Unlike traditional art expression, the process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product. Expressive therapy is predicated on the assumption that people can heal through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression. Types Expressive therapy is an umbrella term. Some common types of expressive therapy include art therapy art and dementia dance therapy drama therapy music therapy writing therapy All expressive therapists share the belief that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process. However, expressive arts therapy is its own therapeutic discipline, an inter modal discipline where the therapist and client move freely between drawing, dancing, music, drama, poetry, etc. Although often separated by the form of creative art, some expressive therapists consider themselves intermodal, using expression in general, rather than a specific discipline to treat clients, altering their approach based on the clients needs, or through using multiple forms of expression with the same client to aid with deeper exploration. ref cite book author Malchiodi, Cathy A. date published 2003 Expressive Therapies publisher New York Guilford ISBN 1593853793 ref Expressive arts therapy is the practice of using imagery, storytelling ... arts therapy is also about experiencing the natural capacity of creative expression and creative community for healing.
