  • Art-thérapie

    Principes, méthodes et outils pratiques
    • 1st Edition
    • Anne-Marie Dubois
    • French
    L'art-thérapie connaît un engouement sans cesse croissant au sein des institutions de soins. Les ateliers à médiations artistiques se multiplient, et la demande des patients augmente considérablement dans de nombreux pays. Les techniques thérapeutiques de l'art-thérapie sont utilisées dans de nombreux domaines (psychiatrique, éducatif, social, etc.). Cette diversité rend complexes la définition et la pratique de l'art-thérapie, mais aussi la formation des arts-thérapeutes. L'art-thérapie est pourtant un outil spécifique d'aide et de soin qu'il est indispensable de pouvoir cerner et décrire. Cet ouvrage fournit tous les repères nécessaires à la compréhension et à la pratique de l'art-thérapie. Il expose dans un premier temps les fondements historiques, conceptuels et théoriques de l'art-thérapie, avant de présenter les différents types de médiation (arts plastiques, modelage, écriture, musique, théâtre et danse). La participation de spécialistes et les cas cliniques développés permettent de saisir les spécificités de chaque discipline. Enfin, l'ouvrage offre toutes les indications nécessaires à la pratique concrète de l'art-thérapie, selon la structure psychique et les symptômes du patient. Ce livre est destiné aux thérapeutes désireux de constituer un atelier d'art-thérapie et à toute personne intéressée par les psychothérapies à médiation artistique (psychologues, paramédicaux, éducateurs, etc.).
