This book explores how 'the hostile environment' of neoliberalism
affects art therapy in Britain. It shows how ambiguity in art and
in psychoanalytically understood relationships can enable art
psychotherapy groups to engage with class dynamics and aspire to
democracy. The book argues that art therapy needs to become a
political practice if it is to resist collusion with a system that
marginalises collectivity and holds individuals responsible for
both their suffering and their recovery. It provides accounts of
the contradictions that are thrown up by neoliberalism in art
therapists' workplaces as well as accounts of art therapy groups
with those affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower, in an acute
ward, a women's prison, a community art studio and in a refugee
camp. Written by art psychotherapists for arts therapists and other
mental health workers, the book will bring political awareness and
consideration of resistance into all art therapy relationships,
whatever the context and client group.
