Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy

<p><em>Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy</em> presents a working model of ways to incorporate parents into a child’s art therapy sessions, drawing on the relational-psychoanalytic notion of mentalization in the treatment of difficulties within childhood relationships. The model is introduced by clearly explaining the theory, the setting, the role of the therapist, and the work with the parents. In addition, the book offers a full section dedicated to practical applications of the model, replete with illustrative case studies and detailed therapeutic art-based interventions covering leadership, movement, collaborative and solitary work, and parent-child exercises. Intended for art therapists, students, parent-child psychotherapists, and other therapists interested in expanding their knowledge in the field, Regev and Snir provide a definition and conceptualization of a short-term treatment model with the potential to have comprehensive effects leading to positive change.</p> <p>List of Illustrations</p><p>Preface</p><p>Acknowledgments</p><p>Introduction</p><p><strong>Part I Fundamental Elements and Principles</strong> </p><p><strong>Chapter 1:</strong> Introduction to Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy</p><p>Chapter 2: Presentation of the Study: Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy in Israel</p><p>Chapter 3: The Objectives of Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy</p><p>Chapter 4: The Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy Setting</p><p>Chapter 5: The Role of the Parent-Child Art Therapist</p><p>Chapter 6: Working with Parents in the Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy Framework</p><p>Chapter 7: Unique Challenges in Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy Model</p><p>Chapter 8: The Observation of Joint Paintings</p><p>Part II Intervention Techniques </p><p>Chapter 9: Leadership Exercises</p><p>Chapter 10: Movement Exercises that Promote the Creation of Images</p><p>Chapter 11: Together and Alone</p><p>Chapter 12: Family Exercises</p><p>Chapter 13: An Encounter in the Interpersonal Space</p>
