ATTUNEMENT IN EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY - TOWARDS AN UNDERSTANDING OF EMBODIED EMPATHY, MITCHELL KOSSAK (2015)

摘要

This is a book written with a deep respect for those that have influenced the author's thinking. It is liberally augmented with grace notes to those who have come before: artists, therapists, scientists, philosophers and more. Sometimes it's a nod, sometimes a quote, and sometimes a whole paragraph or a page. Mitchell Kossak's voice and personal experience create a richly woven composition of the many theories, practices and step-by-step scores for both beginning and advanced practitioners. All the multitude of references resonate with his ideas on how we resonate with each other. Attunement in Expressive Arts Therapy provides the seeds for blossoming into many books (e.g. Music and the Body, Music and Developmental Theory, Music in the Expressive Arts). A musician, expressive arts therapist, and academician of multi-interests who has studied and trained in, among other things, body-centered therapies and Eastern philosophy, Kossak offers much to enrich our practice and our lives.
