In a multidisciplinary setting or team, competing perspectives and
principles can be challenging to negotiate, but supportive working
relationships and effective collaboration can ultimately lead to an
enriched experience and innovative outcomes for both professionals
and clients. Drawing on their diverse experiences, art, music,
drama, play and dance therapists emphasise the valuable results
that their respective disciplines can produce when applied in
settings ranging from schools to hospices, in collaboration with
behaviour therapists, teachers, occupational therapists, speech
therapists and other practitioners. The book provides a unique
perspective on the common issues faced by arts therapists when
working with other professionals and will assist arts therapists in
promoting their profession to co-workers and clients.

Discourse on small business start-up in the UK, advanced by the
British government and other agencies, is one of encouraging
enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurship. This is especially the
case with respect to women. It is however suggested that men are
around two and a half times more likely to be entrepreneurs than
women (UK Global Entrepreneurship Report, 2006). Women are
presented as reluctant entrepreneurs, yet many women dream of
starting-up either as a means to combine work and family life or as
an escape from being organised by others. This study explores the
process of start-up through ethnography and interview data and
posits that it is in the stages before business begins that
start-up becomes problematic for women. The cumulative effects of
seemingly unimportant but negative everyday exchanges erode women's
will to start. These exchanges range from women's business not
being taken seriously and masculine symbolism in the self-
employment agency, to the emotional labour (Hochschild, 1993) or
harmonising in the home demanded by family and friends. Women's
business only becomes possible in carnivalesque spaces as a
transgressive act.
For those with mobility and communication challenges, arts
therapies can be especially significant and rewarding as a means of
self-expression and engaging with others. This book provides
practical guidance on multimodal and archetypal arts therapy
approaches adapted specifically for a physical disability context.
Practical strategies and interventions are given, alongside case
studies from individual and group arts therapy sessions. The author
acknowledges the challenges of working with clients with physical
disabilities, such as physical assistance in using resources,
subtleties in communication of preferences and the need for extra
members of staff, and gives clear guidance for accessible and
effective sessions. This is essential reading for any arts
therapist wanting a tailored approach to meeting the needs of
people with physical disabilities, with a focus on person-centred
and strengths-based methods. In addition, all frameworks covered
are also adaptable for other client groups.
There is increasing pressure on therapists to provide details of
structured assessments and to report therapy outcomes to funders,
employers and co-workers. This edited volume provides a series of
case studies, with varied client groups, giving arts therapists an
accessible introduction to assessment and outcome measures that can
be easily incorporated into their regular practice. The book
provides demonstrations, within a practice-based evidence
framework, of how measures can be tailored to the individual
client's needs. The case studies show assessment and outcome models
for music therapy, art therapy and dramatherapy used with a range
of client groups including people with intellectual disabilities,
Autism Spectrum Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's
Disease and those suffering from depression, Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder or coping with bereavement.
Past Matters brings together a group of largely Australian and New
Zealand academics who in a series of case studies consider how
planning concepts were adopted, adjusted, adapted and extended in a
Pacific Rim setting. The early chapters explore the interplay
between British and American planning models and local
circumstances in Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. The main body
of chapters recount difficulties faced by indigenous peoples with
respect to housing needs and more generally re-asserting themselves
in what began as colonial urban areas as well as others that look
at community meanings, liberalism and exclusion on the street, and
the power of sectional interests. The latter chapters also pose
questions about urban heritage in terms of what and whose interests
are at stake in these debates. The volume concludes with two
convergent chapters that outline some practices by which `heritage'
of a more day to day suburban sort can be protected within a
planning system. The collection centres on Australia and New
Zealand but extends to include chapters on Canada and Japan. The
viewpoints offered serve as a gentle reminder of the limitations of
`Metropolitian Theory'.
