Description:

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the importance of creativity in counseling and the use of the creative arts in counseling, such as the visual arts, drama, music, movement, literature, and poetry.  Informed counselors can assist their clients in overcoming problems and developing their potential through the use of creativity and through the employment of verbal and nonverbal art forms. Thus, it is important that counselors know ways to be creative and how the expressive arts are used in the helping process. This type of background information enables them to be more dynamic, versatile, and effective by making informed decisions concerning prevention and treatment interventions.

   This one-day conference will explore how creativity can be fostered in counseling, specifically by using the SCAMPER model (substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to other uses, eliminate, and rearrange) as developed by Robert Eberle. It also will look at ways the creative arts can be and are being used in counseling. Theoretical, practical, and research components of this workshop will be presented in an experiential and engaging manner. Participants understanding of the potential and power of creativity and of different art forms that may be applied in the counseling process will be highlighted.
