Despite their increasing popularity and reported effectiveness,
there is a dearth of evidence-based research on the practices that
fall under the umbrella of "the arts therapies". The successful
treatment of a variety of psychiatric illnesses through the
application of the arts therapies has long been recognized in many
countries around the world, including psychosis, schizophrenia,
depression and borderline symptoms. Providing valuable data on the
effectiveness of the arts therapies, Arts Therapies and New
Challenges in Psychiatry fills an important gap in the literature
on psychiatric illnesses. Contributors to this impressive volume
have carried out research in psychiatry and mental health with
patients diagnosed with a variety of illnesses. The international
focus of the book shows the global, cross-cultural relevance of the
arts therapies, whilst quantitative and qualitative evidence is
used to demonstrate the need for art-, music-, drama- and dance
therapy in a wide variety of contexts. This book shows that
research in these fields can be carried out convincingly using a
broad range of approaches, including each field's own professional
matrix. Providing a much-needed assessment of the arts therapies,
this book will appeal to art therapists, music therapists, dance
therapists and drama therapists, as well as psychiatrists,
psychologists, psychoanalysts and educators of arts therapy
training.
