Working with Anger Creatively

by Erica Curtis

Working with anger takes a delicate balance of containment and expression. Creativity helps us do just that. Based on art therapy theory and practice, the activities, materials, instructions, process, and reflection questions in this practical guide are all thoughtfully designed as avenues for therapeutic change. Helpful tips provide adaptations for meeting the unique needs of art-adverse clients, as well as varying ages and abilities, so everyone can benefit from creative approaches to working with anger. Anger is a vital part of the emotional landscape, and a thoughtful approach to its nuances can make all the difference in avoiding harmful outcomes. The exercises in this book help you to guide clients toward finding meaningful roles for anger so that it enriches, rather than diminishes, their quality of life.

Don't miss out on this book! As an MFT, I really enjoyed Working with Anger Creatively. The exercises are fun, clarifying, and adaptable to a variety of theories and even other emotions. Though it is designed for professionals, I think the exercises could benefit anyone wanting to use this at home as an adjunct to their personal therapy.
