This comprehensive guide provides an accessible introduction to the
philosophy of restorative justice and its practical application in
a wide range of settings, showing how it can help both victims and
offenders when harm has been done. Drawing on many years'
experience of working in victim support, probation, mediation and
restorative practices, Marian Liebmann uses pertinent case examples
to illustrate how restorative justice can be used effectively to
work with crime and its effects. Also included are sections on
confronting bullying in schools, dealing with sexual and racial
violence, tackling antisocial behaviour and community
reconciliation after war. Whether in the context of families,
schools, communities, criminal justice or prisons, the author
argues that restorative justice is a `seamless philosophy' which
can be applied flexibly to meet diverse needs. Liebmann provides an
international outlook, examining how restorative justice is
practised around the world, including traditional Maori and
Aboriginal approaches. Restorative Justice: How It Works is a key
reference for magistrates, social workers, probation officers,
Youth Offending Team workers, police, teachers and health
professionals, as well as the lay reader.

While therapists are increasingly working with multi-ethnic client
groups, there is a paucity of material available for them to
develop approaches, which meet diverse cultural and racial needs.
Art Therapy, Race and Culture is a stimulating and inspiring
collection which explores the often contentious themes of race,
racism and culture in relation to the experience of art therapy, in
a positive and constructive way. Contributors examine the impact of
racial perceptions in their own experience, their clients' lives,
and on the interaction of therapist and client. The potential of
art therapy as a force of liberation, and art therapists as
cultural activists, is explored. Cultural differences in meanings
applied to 'colour' and to the nature of art are also discussed.
Illustrated with line drawings and photographs, the book presents
work, ideas and theories based on the practical experiences of
therapists from many different backgrounds and their work with
clients from equally diverse origins.
A resource for arts therapists and other clinicians on working with
people who have committed sexual offences. There is a strong focus
on the value of establishing a therapeutic relationship involving
non-verbal media as a cornerstone, drawing upon current research
and practice. Emphasis is placed on working with transference and
counter-transference, being trauma-informed, and making use of
effective supervision. This group of offenders can benefit hugely
from the provision of arts therapies, and this book provides
valuable experiences of working with people who have committed
sexual offences.

What social change has been achieved over the past 30 years? What
have been the main barriers to progress? What great achievements
can we identify and celebrate today? Marking Jessica Kingsley
Publishers' 30th year of publishing books on social and behavioural
issues, this book gathers together over 30 leading thinkers from
diverse disciplines - from autism specialists and social workers
through to trans rights activists and complementary therapists.
Contributors provide a thoughtful account of how their field of
expertise has changed over the past 30 years, and how they see it
evolving in the future. Offering a unique insight into many
professions, 30 Years of Social Change highlights much of the
positive social change achieved in the past 30 years across these
fields and the challenges we face in the future.
By creating a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and processing
trauma, art therapy can play a powerful role in assisting people
with a brain injury or neurological condition to adjust to living
with altered abilities and ways of thinking. Bringing together a
wealth of expertise from specialists working with a range of
conditions including epilepsy, dementia, acquired brain injury,
motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis, this book describes
both the effects of the conditions and the ways in which art
therapy has helped in the rehabilitation process. The book includes
work with groups and individuals and with a wide range of settings
and age groups, from children to older adults, and discusses the
implications of research from neuroscience and neuropsychology.
This will be essential reading for art therapists and students
working with neurological conditions. Other professionals working
with people with neurological conditions such as psychotherapists
and counsellors, doctors, nurses and complementary therapists will
also find it of interest.
As the emotional components of physical illnesses become more
recognised, there is a renewed interest in the potential of art
therapy to help patients come to terms with injury, pain and
terminal and life-long conditions. A wide range of experienced art
therapists describe their work and its benefits to a variety of
groups including those with cancer, debilitating conditions such as
myalgic encephalopathy (M.E.) and ulcerative colitis. Physical
conditions in combination with other factors such as homelessness
or learning disabilities, and children with life-long and chronic
conditions are also covered. The book includes discussion of
spiritual and philosophical issues when mortality is faced, life
change and adjustment issues, practical considerations and which
models of practice art therapists find most helpful with various
groups. This will be essential reading for arts therapists and
students, as well as for professionals with an interest in
psychological issues and wellbeing for patients with physical
illness or long term conditions, such as psychotherapists and
counsellors, complementary therapists, doctors, nurses and other
healthcare professionals.
Whether working in urban areas with high levels of cultural
diversity, providing art therapy to 'unique' populations such as
prisoners or asylum seekers, or introducing art therapy programs to
parts of the world in which it is not yet established, it is
essential that therapists understand the importance of practicing
in a culturally sensitive manner. This comprehensive book considers
how culture impacts the practice of art therapy in a variety of
settings. With contributions from experienced art therapists who
have worked in diverse environments, this book attempts to
understand and highlight the specific cultural, subcultural and
ethnic influences that inform art therapy treatment. It addresses
variable factors including setting, population, environment and
ability, and how they influence art therapy approaches. It also
considers how cultural differences can impact physical art making
through choices of color, symbol and metaphor. Each chapter
provides a framework showing how art therapy techniques have been
used in order to successfully work with distinct populations. This
book will provide practitioners with ideas for how to adapt art
therapy training and approaches to suit the setting and meet the
needs of a vast range of populations. Full of informative case
studies, this book will be invaluable reading for art therapists
and students of art therapy.

individual basis or with small groups, and is suitable for young
people with limited literacy. The exercises are challenging, and
aim to be engaging through the use of creative arts, film,

exclusively with offenders. It describes how the use of art therapy
has grown in adult prisons, young offender institutions, secure
psychiatric and probation centres. Examples of work by women and
men of many different backgrounds show how art therapy can

understanding of themselves. This opens up the possibility of
personal change, and of developing a more constructive life style.
At a time of great concern about the damaging effects of crime,
this book shows a positive way forward. It is illustrated with
black and white photographs and many line drawings.The authors are
all experienced art therapists who explore different ways of
working, both in groups and with individuals. The book will be of

Professionals working in a range of clinical settings are regularly
called upon to work with angry clients, and they may find their
skills and resources for working with this powerful emotion
limited. Art Therapy and Anger demonstrates how the non-verbal
medium of art therapy provides an ideal outlet for the expression
of thoughts and feelings that are too complex and painful to put
into words, presenting a new and practical approach to dealing with
this area of need. Marian Liebmann argues that clients of all ages
will benefit from the art-making process, which helps them to slow
down and consider their emotions more calmly. The tangible product
of their efforts allows clients to assess and react to what they
have depicted, providing a lucid and safe framework for better
understanding the causes and effects of their anger. This book
draws together contributions from art therapists who work in a wide
variety of contexts, including work with offenders, mental health
clients, clients with brain injury and those with cancer, with the
view of helping clients to manage their anger more constructively.
This positive, practical volume will be of great interest to art
therapists and students, as well as practitioners working with
angry clients in various fields such as mental health, probation,
counselling and medicine.

become contentious; its idea, concept, and global implementation
have met growing resistance, which may soon shift the global
balance of power, prompting international crisis. This book offers

human rights, consitutional law, and philosophy of law in the time
of such considerable challenges to it. From this legal perspective,
the contributors analyze the questions of independence of
judiciary, liberal education, freedom of mass media; populism, and
corruption. They discuss global civic education, enhanced social
inclusion, violence prevention, restorative justice and other
methods of civic participation that can create larger opportunities
for freedom in a UN world and help overcome increased ideological
division between global North and South.

Forgiveness has often viewed as a religious obligation but is
increasingly being advocated as a means of healing, release and
promoting wellbeing. Forgiveness is variously viewed as a duty,
virtue or cure, but when it comes to practising forgiveness in real
life we find it is always caught up in the complexity of the
situation. This book shines a light on how we tend to think about
forgiveness in practice, including examples from social work,
family therapy, chaplaincy and criminal justice. The book contains
many different perspectives on how we think about forgiveness,
including overviews of four major religions and reflections from
those working in the healing professions. Without advocating a
particular approach this book raises important questions around
self-forgiveness and forgiving institutions and encourages the
reader to think again about forgiveness and how it impacts,
challenges and transforms relationships.
Based on 17 years of clinical work in both the United States and
the United Kingdom, this book presents a comprehensive discussion
on the use of art in counselling sexually abused children, their
families, and both adult and adolescent sex offenders. Using
concepts of the "trauma model" and other current theoretical models
that have been shown to be effective, and drawing on case examples
from her own clinical experience, Maralynn Hagood demonstrates how
art therapy, counselling and psychotherapy can be blended, and
tailored to the needs of the individual. She emphasises the dangers
of interpreting artwork in diagnosis, arguing that it is the
process of art-making which has therapeutic value.
Conflict is an increasingly common feature of modern life, and
often has disastrous and destructive outcomes. Arts Approaches to
Conflict explores how various arts approaches can both raise our
understanding of conflict and lead to its constructive resolution.
Practitioners and experts from a wide range of art forms examine
their own fields as approaches to conflict, encompassing: - visual
arts - drama, puppetry and masks - music - storytelling - dance and
movement - the combined arts Arts Approaches to Conflict is a rich
resource of new ideas, practices and information which explores the
creative ways to address conflict. It is fascinating and
eye-opening reading both for students and practitioners in arts
therapies, psychotherapy, counselling, social work, mediation,
probation and prison services.
In the last few years the number of art therapists has grown
significantly and the ranges of different contexts where their
skills are valued has broadened enormously. This has brought art
therapists into contact with many members of the other caring
professions, who need and want to know more about art therapy and
its benefits for their clients. There is increasing interest in the
use of the arts generally, with disadvantaged people of all kinds.
This may include joining in arts activities and also the more
personal process of art therapy. The benefits to the people
involved may be far-reaching, increasing a sense of self-worth and
the ability to communicate. New ways of working are being developed
all the time, and art therapists are pushing out the boundaries as
they do this. This book describe what actually happens in art
therapy in a variety of contexts, as practised by particular art
therapists. The contributors to this volume all work and live in
the same geographical region and have evolved their aims as a
group. Between them they cover a wide variety of client groups:
acute and long-term psychiatric patients, psychogeriatric patients,
mentally handicapped people with psychiatric problems, children
with psychological problems, offenders in the community and
homeless people.
Art therapy enables the client and therapist to explore issues that
may ordinarily be difficult to articulate in words; one such issue
is the complexity of gender, which can be a subject of therapy in a
range of ways. Gender identity is at the heart of our
self-understanding. The contributors to this book cover such topics
as internalised homophobia in both therapist and client, art and
pregnancy, art therapy with women only and men-only groups,
feminist art therapy, gay and lesbian issues, and gender
stereotypes. These wide-ranging papers cover both theoretical and
practical topics, giving clinical examples and instances of
clients' artwork in illustration. The contributors, all established
art therapists, bring a wide range of experiences and perspectives
to the topic of gender in art therapy. Professionals and students
in this field will find the insights contained in this book both
fascinating and valuable.
