"Person-centred expressive arts (PCEA) is transformative work capable of healing emotional wounds, teaching person-centred communication and counselling skills, awakening creativity, encouraging authenticity, and fostering self-empowerment.

This chapter describes Natalie Rogers' Creative Connection®, a unique approach combining the person-centred approach with expressive arts. The Creative Connection® is the enhancing interplay among movement, art, writing, and sound in a sequence that enhances insight and self-understanding.

Natalie Rogers developed a 450-hour, 2-year graduate training programme entitled Person-Centered Expressive Arts for Healing and Social Change: A Person-Centered Approach (PCEAT), currently offered at Meridian University in California (www.personcenteredexpressivearts.com/program-details). The applications of PCEAT are used with a variety of needs, including the problems of addiction, anger, dementia, cancer, eating disorders, grief, as well as the growth-oriented goals of education, diversity, empowerment, mindfulness, and spirituality."

From the origins of Carl Rogers' person-centred approach to the cutting-edge developments of therapy today, the Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy Handbook charts the journey of an ambitious vision to its successful reality. In this book, Lago and Charura bring together history, theory, research, and practice to deliver a complete and unique perspective on the person-centred approach.

Key topics include:
     • The groundbreaking journey of PCA’'s early decades, spearheaded by Carl Rogers.
     • Developments and extensions of the original theory and practice.
     • The influence of PCA in developing new therapies and practice.
