Good Grief: The Part of Arts in Healing Loss and Grief
Buser, Trevor J.; Buser, Juleen K.; Gladding, Samuel T.
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v1 n3-4 p173-183 2005
This manuscript considers the way that several creative media--including music, videography, visual arts, literature, drama, play, and altar-making--can be utilized in assisting the multifaceted grief process of clients. In particular, attention is given to the ability of creative media to enable clients to maintain a connection to the deceased, to access and express complicated emotions, and to gain confidence in authoring a new life story in the midst of loss.
