This workshop will include active engagement for participants and clinical case material as it explores what it means to add art and drama therapy interventions to more traditional talk therapy. Looking at the work through the lenses of psychodynamic and creative arts therapies, we will discuss accessible techniques such as storyboarding, blind contour drawing, art therapy assessments, and using movement in clinical practice.
Portions of the presentation will involve active art making (no experience required) and participants are invited to have some watercolor paint and paper, a few brushes, water, and some markers on hand.
