Queer Worldmaking in Art Therapy

Theory and Praxis

This book actively challenges the constraints imposed by dominant cis-heteronormative paradigms and advocates for a dynamic and fluid understanding of identity and healing, framing social justice and liberation as indispensable components of therapeutic practice.

This book actively challenges the constraints imposed by dominant cis-heteronormative paradigms and advocates for a dynamic and fluid understanding of identity and healing, framing social justice and liberation as indispensable components of therapeutic practice.

Each chapter investigates queer and trans epistemologies—ways of knowing, feeling, and imagining—that destabilize conventional therapeutic approaches. It provides adaptive and practical strategies for incorporating queer worldmaking into art therapy, thereby transforming therapeutic environments to be more inclusive, affirming, and just. Through detailed case studies and real-world applications, the book showcases innovative strategies that advocate for an expanded professional practice that honors the vibrant diversity of LGBTQIA+ identities.

By equipping art therapists with tools for active allyship and ethical care, Queer Worldmaking in Art Therapy aims to catalyze a shift towards more equitable therapeutic landscapes for all.
