Art Psychotherapy and Innovation captures the range of activity at
the vanguard of practice and research in the field. Reflecting the
sector's increasing focus on ways of fostering psychological
health, wellbeing and social engagement in a wider context, it
examines how to adapt to an increasing demand for therapeutic
interventions worldwide. This includes collaboration with arts and
health practitioners to ensure evidence-based practice with safe
and ethical therapeutic boundaries and which draws on art
psychotherapists' intensive clinical training. Tethered to the
wider context for innovation in art psychotherapy through
theoretical discussion, this edited collection presents case
studies of innovative work in relation to new territories (client
groups and locations), new techniques in approaches to practice,
and engagement with contemporary technologies and
cross-disciplinary working.
This is the first book to explore and evaluate the potential of
museum and gallery spaces and partnerships for art therapy.
Showcasing approaches by well-known art therapists, the edited
collection contains descriptions of, and reflections on, art
therapy in museums and galleries around the globe. Case studies
encompass a broad range of client groups, including people with
dementia, refugees and clients recovering from substance abuse,
exploring the therapeutic skills required to work in these
settings. The collection also establishes the context for art
therapy in museums and galleries through reviewing key literature
and engaging with the latest research, to consider wider
perspectives on how these spaces inform therapeutic practice.
Offering a comprehensive look at ways in which these locations
enable novel and creative therapeutic work, this is an essential
book for art therapists, arts and health practitioners and museum
professionals.
