Over the past few decades, the use of the arts in health has
blossomed. What, for many centuries, was seen as a fringe activity
is now being recognised as a field that has enormous potential for
impacting positively on both individuals and societies. However,
despite this surge in interest and activity, there is still limited
support available for people working in the field. Although the
number of practical training courses for artists is growing and
more universities are establishing research groups, most training
activity occurs in either practice or research; there are
relatively few opportunities to gain parallel experience in both.
Arts in Health: Designing and Researching Interventions provides a
complete overview of how to go about undertaking research and
practice in the field of arts in health. It starts by exploring the
context for arts in health interventions, including the history of
the use of arts in health and the theoretical and political
developments that have laid the foundations for its flourishing. It
also considers what 'arts in health' encompasses and the range of
disciplines involved. Part II examines how to design an arts in
health intervention, develop partnerships and find funding and
considers the sensitivities around working in healthcare. Part III
considers the value of research for the field of arts in health and
how to design and undertake a research project. Finally, part IV
provides a fact file of arts in health research and practice,
showing how the arts can be applied and the benefits they can bring
across a range of medical disciplines. The book will be valuable
for researchers, practitioners, healthcare professionals and those
interested in learning more about the field.
