Facing the Music: Creative and Experiential Group Strategies for Working with Addiction Related Grief and Loss
Haberstroh, Shane
Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, v1 n3-4 p41-55 2005
This article outlines how group practitioners can harness creative strategies to assist addicted clients in verbalizing and addressing the losses associated with addictive disorders. This article overviews the implementation of an experiential process that includes a warm up activity, a psychodrama, and utilization of empty chair techniques to address addiction related grief and loss. In addition, these models assist clients to discuss change and healing from the interpersonal devastation of addiction. Finally, the appropriate use and timing of these models are discussed and a case study is included to illustrate these principles in action. (Contains 2 figures.)
