Each unique focus encourages the rich dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and students. Book reviews highlight new and interesting publications in the field. In another column, film reviews provide a framework for conceptualizing personality styles and common issues found in human relations. Three other special columns provide: (a) relationally-based creative interventions used by counselors and psychotherapists in their practices, (b) creative teaching methods by counselor educators; and (c) an opportunity for mental health professionals to offer their perspective on creative, innovative, and resourceful counseling topics.
