Inspired by the experience of art therapists who have pioneered
work with people with cancer and including those who have
experienced this devastating illness at first hand, this book
acknowledges the outstanding work of the Corinne Burton Trust which
has supported the development of art therapy services in hospices
and clinics throughout the United Kingdom. Narratives, case
studies, new theoretical insights, and the inclusion of writing
from Italy, France and the United States of America contribute to
the strength and originality of the book. Therapeutic work is
placed in its institutional context, demonstrating the importance
for the art therapy service of being understood, supported and
valued at managerial level - and how the lack of this can impact
adversely on patient care. Moreover, many of the contributions have
a sociological and anthropological nature, which gives the book a
unique and challenging dimension. Art Therapy and Cancer Care is
key reading for art therapists, artists in health care and other
health or social care professionals who are looking for approaches
that will improve the quality of living for cancer patients, yet
not shy away from the process of dying. The contributors Jacqui
Balloqui, Maureen Bocking, Timothy Duesbury, Ken Evans, Cinzia
Favara-Scacco, Barry Falk, Elizabeth Goll Lerner, David Hardy,
Kathryn Horn Coneway, Paola Luzzatto, Caryl Sibbett, Elizabeth
Stone Matho, Michele Wood, Diane Waller.
