The authors offer a rationale, structure, and method for teaching an experientially based class in using the arts as an adjunct to counseling. They describe the benefits to counseling students, review literature documenting the effective uses of the arts in counseling, and recommend textbooks and other resources. Professional and ethical considerations are noted, suggestions for collaborative teaching are offered, and the authors' experience in piloting such a course is documented.
