This paper is meant to illustrate some examples of how art and play therapy can enhance the therapeutic exchange between patient and therapist or family. Traditional psychotherapy can be beneficial to some patients, however, for those who find it difficult to express themselves verbally, creative therapy may be a useful tool in facilitating expression of feelings without necessarily having to verbalize them. This is especially true of adolescents, whose need for peer acceptance may cause them to feel awkward talking in a group, or fear being called names or being made fun of for what they may disclose in a group.","PeriodicalId":184669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Activities, Assignments & Handouts in Psychotherapy Practice","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130829473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three major components of the study of creativity are explored and applied to the psychotherapy process. The person(including both the therapist and client), the process(the interaction between the client and therapist), and the product(therapeutic change) are all explored as components of creativity. In addition, the authors maintain that in the psychotherapy process, divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and intuition are all necessary ingredients of creativity. It is proposed that creativity is not a trait, but a learned activity in which therapists engage frequently. Relational dynamics influencing these creative components are explored. The creative therapeutic process is explored with case examples provided.","PeriodicalId":184669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Activities, Assignments & Handouts in Psychotherapy Practice","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130528266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
