Course Description
Summary
This course will introduce students to the history and approaches out of which Expressive Arts therapy has grown, amplifying the weaving of multiple modalities used in therapy that are consistent with intermodal practices. Accompanying these topics, research that has emerged in the past three decades that explores EXAT as being a brain-wise therapy will be discussed in some depth.
