This book calls attention to the impact of stigma experienced by
people who use illicit drugs. Stigma is powerful: it can do untold
harm to a person and place with longstanding effects. Through an
exploration of themes of inequality, power, and feeling ‘out of
place’ in neoliberal times, this collection focuses on how stigma
is negotiated, resisted and absorbed by people who use drugs. How
does stigma get under the skin? Drawing on a range of theoretical
frameworks and empirical data, this book draws attention to the
damaging effects stigma can have on identity, recovery, mental
health, desistance from crime, and social inclusion. By connecting
drug use, stigma and identity, the authors in this collection share
insights into the everyday experiences of people who use drugs and
add to debate focused on an agenda for social justice in drug use
policy and practice.

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.
