مشاوره رفتاری شناختی از سوگ و داغداری حل نشده از طریق مکمل درمانی ملیله سازی

Introduction The client work discussed in this paper is unusual in two respects. Firstly, the client’s grieving process was guided in part by cognitive behavioral principles. Secondly, a creative arts adjunct to verbal counseling was conceptualized within a cognitive behavioral framework. While cognitive and behavioral theories are increasingly used to guide brief forms of psychotherapy and counseling, there are few published accounts of griefwork being informed by these perspectives. Cognitive behavioral approaches appear almost entirely missing from the creative therapies literature except in the field of music therapy (Bunt, 1994). The therapeutic use of art is perhaps more commonly informed by psychodynamic or client-centered principles, and the later discussion will examine aspects of the therapeutic process from these contrasting perspectives. These insights illustrate the value of an “integrative” approach to therapy. Practitioners whose work is grounded in a specific theoretical perspective may come to accept its sensitizing concepts as “given” and taken for granted. Yet all theories are filters for our complex experiences, serving to highlight some aspects for attention, and relegating other aspects to background. Counselors and clients may discover fresh insights from examining their experiences from more than one theoretical viewpoint. The client’s problems were interpreted as unresolved grief and so some analysis of this problem from a cognitive behavioral perspective is presented. The key objectives of cognitive behavioral counseling are outlined, followed by application of these principles to a creative arts process of tapestry-making.
