Using Computer Technology in Expressive Arts Therapy Practice: A Proposal for Increased Use
Evans, Sarah
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v7 n1 p49-63 2012
Creativity software and the Internet can be valuable tools in the practice of expressive arts therapy (EAT). They offer novel options, stimulate fascination, and hold potential benefits for a wide variety of clients and the therapeutic relationship and process. A review of literature in related fields is presented to demonstrate the expected impact and utility of adding such media to the practice of EAT. The characteristics of these mediums resonate with the core values of EAT. Guidelines for use, limitations of current research, ethical considerations, and suggested future directions for research are discussed. Suggestions for creative activities and descriptions of specific software are provided. (Contains 2 tables.)
