Kreativ terapi

"Kreativitet" er et praktisk og filosofisk kursus for kunstnere og andre, der ønsker at udforske og genvinde deres kreativitet og selvtillid."Kreativitet" er en brugsbog om personlig udvikling, der med fordel kan læses og bruges af alle, som interesserer sig for at leve et kreativt liv. Bogen henvender sig til den kunstner, som vi alle har i os, hvad enten kreativiteten er gået i stå eller aldrig rigtigt er kommet til udtryk."Kreativitet" er opbygget som et tolvugers kursus. Læseren indgår en kontrakt med sig selv, og nogle elementære opgaver tjener som disciplin i kurset: Morgensiderne, som skal skrives hver dag, og den oplevelse, som man hver uge skal forkæle sin indre kunstner med. Som kurset skrider frem, lærer man at overvinde de blokeringer og kunstigt skabte begrænsninger, der holder ens iboende kunstner i dvale."Kreativitet" indeholder effektive og underholdende øvelser. Følger man dem, lærer man at stimulere sine kreative, intuitive og kunstneriske sider og er godt på vej igennem et stykke givende terapeutisk arbejde, der igen – eller for første gang – kan få ens kreative energi og livsglæde til at flyde."Gør-det-selv-bog.

”Musik, leg og liv” er en pædagogisk metode til opbygning af tætte relationer i arbejdet med mennesker med nedsat fysisk og psykisk funktionsevne. Den kan bruges i mange andre sammenhænge. I denne praksisbog konkretiserer musikterapeut Anne Steen Møller grundlæggende temaer i det relationelle arbejde. Det omfattende katalog af aktiviteter giver inspiration til at skabe nærvær og fællesskab gennem ganske enkle former for udfoldelser med musik, leg og kropskontakt.Aktiviteterne bygger på de to tilstandsformer, at ”være” og at ”gøre”, som hhv. tryghedsskabende og meningsskabende samvær. I en travl hverdag er ”Musik, leg og liv” en hjælp til hurtigt at kunne etablere et trygt og genkendeligt møde med den enkelte, hvor regulering af opmærksomhed og følelser bliver en naturlig del af samværet.”Musik, leg og liv” er let at gå til og kan bruges af forskellige faggrupper i deres respektive jobs. De små regelbundne lege, og fælles udfoldelser til musik, som kan streames, kan alle bruge.

[bagsidetekst]:Få dage efter Jakobs indlæggelse sendte han den første mail til mig. Jeg åbnede den og læste. Der stod, at mørket havde taget ham. Næste dag lå der en ny mail i min indbakke, og næste og næste. Skal jeg være ærlig, læste jeg dem ikke i første omgang, mit eget lort stod knæhøjt i livet, jeg havde ikke kræfter til det. Men fortæller et menneske dig sin historie, kan du ikke ignorere den. Det må du ikke. Denne banale altruisme voksede sig til en altoverskyggende sandhed de næste dage, og så begyndte jeg at læse, og forstod hvorfor valget var faldet på mig: Stoffet var up my alley - og det vidste Jakob. Der fulgte ingen forklaring med, ingen angivelser om hvad der skulle gøres, men det var en bog, det stod klart.Teksterne navigerede i sygdommen og dagene i insti­tu­ti­onen, fæstnet i kaos. Et forsøg på at se skarpt gen­nem en hvid hinde, en uendelig horisontalitet som er søvndyssende tryg, og derfor kan sluge hele identiteten. Hele dig. Og over de næste tre måneder så jeg dagligt gennem hans blik, et blik der løb fra medicinens hårde kemi til hospitalsgangenes anonymitet, rundt om det daglige fællesskab udgjort af knuste skæbner, og ud i det omkringliggende overforbrugs Gentofte og ind i Marx’ teorier om vampyrer; et blik der formede sig som et vredt opråb efter et mere nænsomt samfund, og som så sine medpatienter lige i øjnene, med en medfølelse der ikke kan ignoreres.Det er en stor gestus. Dette er en beretning til de sårede, til de næste der falder.– Claus Handberg

You don't have to be good at art for art to be good for you. Being creative is good for us: it lowers our stress hormones, calms our nervous system and can get us into a flow state. Our innate creativity is part of being human, but it's easy to forget, especially since many of us have been told that we are "no good" at art. At a time when mental health challenges are on the rise and support systems are stretched, Creative First Aid is your practical guide to taking matters into your own hands, literally. It's about the proven positive effects of making something - a garden, a story, a meal, a drawing - and the powerful interaction this process can have on your mental, emotional and physical state. It's about being curious, playful, creative and full of self-compassion - even more so when life gets messy. Based on scientific evidence and a program shown to improve mental wellbeing for first responders and traumatised communities, this inspiring book empowers you with awareness and simple creative tools that can open a door to experiencing delight, awe and joy each and every day. It includes stories from those who have found their way through trauma, anxiety, grief and chronic illness, as well as 50 creative prescriptions you can try, with some taking just a couple of minutes. Creative First Aid is your roadmap for how to look after yourself on tough days, amazing days - and all the days in between.

"Samtaler med børn og deres voksne er en bog om leg. En bog om, at legens virkelighed heldigvis kan møde, opbløde og transformere virkeligheder, som ingen ønsker for nogen. Hverken barnet eller dets virkelighed skal ændres, korrigeres eller laves om, men mødes så nænsomt og præcist, at det kropsligt og følelsesmæssigt bliver muligt at rumme, dvs. være til stede med alt, hvad der er eller har været. Gennem legende ord og spændende legegenstande skabes rettigheder til at forstå og tilegne sig alle virkelighedsformer fra de grumme til de givende, 'blot' man finder kontaktfulde måder at møde og dele dem på." Lars Sørensen, tidligere Chefpsykolog på Psykiatrihospitalet i Nykøbing Sj.Forfatter til en lang række bøger bl.a. Smertegrænsen og Selvglad."Jeg ved, jeg har læst en god og inspirerende bog, når jeg slider én ­overstregningstusch op. Samtaler med børn og deres voksne krævede flere tuscher!Bogens forfattere formår, på elegant vis, at berige Sandplay med andre psykologiske og pædagogiske teorier og metoder, hvilket blot gør Sandplay endnu mere anvendelig og meningsfuld. Tusind tak for en bog der både fodrer højre og venstre hjernehalvdel! Arbejder du med børn og unge eller er forælder, er bogen intet mindre end en appelsin i din turban!"Henrik Dybvad Larsen, Autoriseret psykolog Forfatter til bogen Fostrets og fødslens psykologi m.v. "Der findes for få bøger der giver et helhedsorienteret indblik i børns udvikling og samtidig er praktisk anvendelige. Bogen beskæftiger sig meget konkret med, hvordan man kan understøtte børns udvikling gennem leg, legeterapi og samtale, bl.a. sandplay og familiesystemiske tilgange som fx spædbarnsterapi og familieopstillinger. Som børne- og ungepsykolog er jeg på evig jagt efter konkrete metoder og værktøjer til at arbejde med børn og skabe rammerne for, at de kan udtrykke sig mere frit og dermed forløse psykiske blokeringer. I denne bog har jeg fået mange gode, kreative ideer hertil, som kan anvendes direkte i pædagogisk-psykologisk praksis."Marie Davidsen-Nielsen, Autoriseret psykolog, børnesagkyndig

Yet we tend to know nothing about the intricate networks that neurons create throughout our brains to make music possible. The Musical Brain explores fascinating discoveries about the brain and music, often told through the stories of musicians whose lives have been impacted by the extraordinary ability of our brains to learn and adapt. Svard relates neuroscientific research in how the brain processes music in a practical way to those individuals who make or teach music.
