38.0 Creative Psychotherapies in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

The goals of this presentation are as follows: 1) to learn how creative experiences are integrated into psychotherapy to achieve mental health and behavioral treatment goals; 2) to understand the evidence for experiential psychotherapeutic modalities, including equine-assisted psychotherapy, art therapy, horticultural therapy, dance and movement therapy, and music therapy; 3) to identify which populations are likely to benefit from each modality; and 4) to become familiar with the role of metaphor in facilitating self-awareness, self-expression, and psychobehavioral change.
