PUBLICATIONS
Dr. Elliott's publications include:
The Art and Soul of Couples and Family Therapy in the CAMFT publication, The Therapist, in June 2013, and This article re-roots Couples and Family Therapy in its artistic and soulful origins. The root or archi of the field, as radical, that is, radius or circling back to the origin that rekindles Family Therapy its own soulful and artistic voice. Gaston Bachelard (1994), the great French philosopher of the imagination quoting Jean Lescure, extols “An artist does not create the way he lives, he lives the way he creates” (p. xxxiii). It is in the work of the radical thinker and Soul Psychologist James Hillman and the radical practitioner of Family Therapy Carl Whitaker that we turn to for help in understanding these ideas.
