""Counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals" (Kaplan, et al., 2014, p. 366). Counselors focus on helping clients make developmentally appropriate choices and changes. Effective counselors are aware of the multidimensional nature of the profession and choose from a wide variety of interventions when working with diverse populations. The creative arts are a sometimes overlooked aspect of counseling that can promote the best within the helping arena (Neilsen, et al., 2016). By their very nature, the arts foster different ways of experiencing the world. They are enriching, stimulating, and therapeutic in their own right. When used in clinical situations, the creative arts can help counselors and clients gain unique and universal perspectives on problems and possibilities. In this sixth edition of Creativity and The Creative Arts in Counseling, I concentrate on how the creative arts can be used independently and complementarily to enhance the counseling process on primary, secondary, and tertiary levels"-- Provided by publisher.
