Throughout this course, students will learn experientially how creativity can be integrated into therapy, research and individual well-being. Starting with an overview of existing expressive therapy modalities, we will review and interrogate their historical contexts, theoretical frameworks and clinical applications. Students will also learn about art-based and participatory research methodologies, and how they can be used to innovate and critically address issues of reflexivity and social justice. From painting and crafts to AI-powered art tools, students will experiment with numerous expressive media and how they can be applied in therapy and/or for their own emotional literacy. This course applies an anti-oppression framework, aiming to help students enhance their creativity, empathy and critical analysis, all skills necessary for their future professions. No creative expertise needed for this course, all artistic levels welcome.
