| Summary |
Presents a comprehensive guide to action-centered methods that go beyond words (e.g., dance, art, yoga, drama, or ritual). allowing clients to express emotions more freely and often leading to newer and deeper insights. Each chapter focuses on a different technique, describes its theoretical underpinnings, and summarizes research on its effectiveness. |

Following a survey of the differences between major proponents in the uses of the action methods within each approach, (usually) two brief case examples are presented. Included is case narrative and commentary, offering the therapist's rationale for how the session was structured, what the therapist looked for, and what was expected to occur. Also issues discussed include dealing with resistance, the value of successive uses of action methods, and therapist characteristics desirable for the effective use of these methods.
