The Creative Therapist: The Art of Awakening a Session

The Creative Therapist explores the theory and practice of invigorating therapy with creativity in order to make it vibrant, meaningful, and successful. Author Bradford Keeney takes readers through his own extensive experiences in using creativity with clients from all over the world and makes the case that inspiration and inventiveness, rather than theory, method, technique, or research, are what awaken meaningful and transformative therapy.

Bradford Keeney, Ph.D., is presently a professor at the Department of Transformative Inquiry, California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, and clinical director at the Center for Children and Families, Monroe, Louisiana (www.thecreativetherapist.com). He has served distinguished careers as a social cybernetician, systemic therapist, anthropologist of cultural healing traditions, conversation analyst, improvisational performer, and creative consultant.
