Book synopsis

Many in the field of therapy are arriving at the realisation that healing needs to bring together not only our social, emotional, physical and intellectual sides but also our spiritual beings. Play in its many manifestations of art, drama, movement, and ritual can allow us to reach a level of emotional openness, interconnectedness and fundamental happiness. This book describes personal accounts of healing through Buddhist psychotherapy and the arts therapies, in particular, play and dramatherapy to showcase highly effective, multi-dimensional therapeutic techniques. The Core Process, Buddhist-oriented approach to psychotherapy is integrated with creative arts therapy to explore play as a gateway to our deeper Being or Buddha Nature. Play is introduced as a crucial and intrinsic therapeutic tool that not only pertains to childhood but extends throughout the life cycle and manifests as drama, art, sculpture, music, dance, story, ritual. This book will be an eye-opening resource for arts therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists and those interested in the fields of therapy and spirituality, especially Buddhism.
