The Creative Therapies in the Helping Relationship: Psychotherapy and Spiritual Care

Conference Date: March 8-10, 2018

Saint Paul University, Ottawa

 

We often refer to psychotherapy, counselling, and spiritual care as the “talking” therapies, but there is so much more, and the creative therapies and arts can enhance, deepen, and bring feeling and transcendence to all we might say in the helping relationship. This conference offers participants the opportunity to learn different ways in which the creative therapies and arts have expanded the helping relationship. The workshop presentations will offer perspectives from theory, practice, and research, with reference to the use of various expressive arts in the helping relationships. 

Date: Thursday, March 8 – Saturday, March 10

Presented by: The Faculty of Human Sciences, Saint Paul University; School of Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality; The Society for Pastoral Counselling Research (SPCR); Chair, Christian Family Studies; Capital Choice Counselling Group (CCCG); Others
