I will be editing a book on using creative modalities with males, females, families, and children who have experienced chemical dependency. It has been accepted for publication by Charles C. Thomas Publishers. I am looking for chapter proposals in art, play, dance, music, drama, poetry, and other creative therapies.

After selecting the creative modality that is your area of expertise, please narrow your focus to one of the following subcategories – work with children, adults, or families.
This will be highly competitive as I am only selecting a limited number of chapters. Cross cultural chapters are highly encouraged.

Art Therapy:

Play Therapy:

Dance/Movement Therapy:

Music Therapy:

Drama Therapy:

Poetry Therapy:

Special Chapters:

• Individual versus group approaches to therapy
• Cultural differences
• Ethical considerations
• Legal issues – how to present in court proceedings
• Supervision issues

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

• Please Follow the Submission Criteria:
• The document must be submitted in MS Word and virus checked prior to sending.
• Your bio and all contact information should appear at the end of the document – phone number, address, preferred email, and please give alternate email addresses, as they tend to change.
• The proposal must be written in APA style (how you cite your sources and list your references will be a strong criteria for acceptance)
• The article MUST use references and theory from the field to support you work – another strong criteria
• The proposal should be 3 pages, with references, and contain a one-paragraph biography of your work, education, writing experience, and practical experience with survivors. Please submit the documents as MS Word documents (Save as .doc or .rtf files please)
• Please put this in one document.
