Advancing the Humanistic Aesthetic as a Therapeutic Mechanism for Client Growth

The authors present a framework designed to assist the counselor in integrating the qualities of art and creativity in therapeutic intervention. This framework is based on the idea that client disclosures are a personal aesthetic. We suggest that the client’s construction of a personal aesthetic, or the client’s subjective interpretation and expression of experience, can be understood as an ideal way of being. This process of counseling includes eliciting the client’s creative aesthetic expression within the interview as a means to clarify how the client might use such expressions toward self-actualization.
