peer agreement (net): +1expressive therapist / creative arts therapist Explanation: Here's a definition of "Gestaltungstherapie": "Die Gestaltungstherapie wird in der Regel als Begleitmethode zu einer stationären Psychotherapie durchgeführt. Das Setting ist meistens die Gruppe unter Anleitung eines Therapeuten. Es werden mit verschiedenen Materialien wie Farben, Ton, Holz oder Stein kreative Fähigkeiten (neu) erprobt. Hierbei geht es nicht um künstlerische Betätigung oder um Beschäftigung. Über die Art und Weise, wie die Teilnehmer gestalten bzw. über das Ergebnis des kreativen Prozesses sollen sich Rückschlüsse auf die inneren Empfindungen und Gefühle wie Ängste o.ä. ziehen lassen. Durch eine anschließende Reflexion trägt die Gestaltungstherapie so zu einer vertieften Selbsterfahrung bei." http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestaltungstherapie When we read about working with paint, clay, wood and stone above, it sounds very much like "Gestaltungstherapie" could fall under this definition of expressive therapy: "Expressive therapy, also known as creative arts therapy, is the intentional use of the creative arts as a form of therapy. Unlike traditional art expression, the process of creation is emphasized rather than the final aesthetic product. Expressive therapy works under the assumption that through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression, humans can heal. Most forms of creative expression have an equivalent therapeutic discipline: art therapy, dance therapy, drama therapy, music therapy, play therapy, writing therapy..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressive_therapy For what it's worth, "creative arts therapist" fetches significantly more hits on Google than "expressive therapist.

art therapist Explanation: says it most concisely -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2007-08-27 10:16:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... especially since the next person in the list is a music therapist. Since music is also creative, I'd avoid making a distinction between "creative" and "music" therapy. Besides, what this person does is make art with the patient, or get the patient to make art. |
