Front Cover
C.C. Thomas, 1998 - Education - 108 pages
This book provides recommendations and guidelines for expressive arts therapists and educators who work in school settings as therapists, supervisors, supervisees, or graduate school expressive arts interns. Although designed to establish expressive arts therapy programs within an educational system, it can easily be adapted to establish programs in non-clinical settings. The following topics are featured: understanding the current need and timely response; outlining the essential components; defining roles, responsibilities, and learning objectives; outlining a series of basic tasks and guidelines for supervisors; discussing the nature of an observation and the appropriate handling; integrating multicultural values into the structure of work; creating an effective proposal format for expressive arts therapists seeking to implement a viable program within public school settings; providing forms for documentation of work; forms for evaluation; and a format for program review. This resource is intended to respond to the interests of both educators and expressive arts therapists who are serving the increasingly complex needs of both children and communities through the arts.
