This authoritative and comprehensive volume explains how to integrate movement, sound, art, play, imagery, drama, and other multisensory practices into psychotherapy. Cathy A. Malchiodi and other leading experts demonstrate ways to combine a wide range of expressive approaches to help clients explore feelings and thoughts that are often difficult to access verbally. Rich case examples illustrate what these modalities look like in action, providing readers with strategies they can readily apply in work with individuals of all ages. The book interweaves theory and research with practical recommendations for implementing expressive arts therapy to enhance communication and to support regulation, attachment, trauma recovery, and sensory integration.

In a convenient large-size format, this book presents the first research-based, comprehensive program designed to support high school students with autism spectrum disorder. Developed by the Center on Secondary Education for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CSESA), the program addresses four key areas--literacy, social competence and peer relationships, independence, and transition preparation for students and families. Chapters provide a roadmap for implementation of each component, complete with intervention guidelines, case vignettes, and downloadable reproducible forms. The book also helps readers navigate the wealth of additional resources freely available from CSESA.
