Creative Activities for Group Therapy

Creative Activities for Group Therapy, 2nd Edition, presents a structured textbook focus on evidence-based alternatives to standard verbal expression in group therapy settings. Authored by Nina W. Brown, an eminent scholar and professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, the book establishes procedural fundamentals and group leader facilitation attributes to support non-verbal therapeutic engagement.

The text divides its core coverage into three main areas: foundational group procedures, distinct activity categories, and specialized clinical applications. Content coverage spans expressive art activities such as drawing and collage, as well as written modalities including essays, lists, journals, poetry, and cinquains.

The volume details specialized creative interventions designed for online virtual sessions as well as restrictive institutional environments including hospitals and prisons. This textbook provides practical intervention tools for students, therapists, counselors, clinical social workers, and group leaders who guide therapeutic groups across varied clinical environments.
