Creativity, Theology, and Posttraumatic Growth

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In Creativity, Theology, and Posttraumatic Growth, Dustin Risser invites the reader to pursue play and joy, even in the shadows of trauma. His psychological and theological analysis of attuned relationships, playful creativity, and posttraumatic healing offers a model to bring growth to trauma survivors through acts of making and creative expression. His metaphor of the desert rose is an engaging reminder of this possibility of beauty out of adversity.”
