This book describes what 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. They cover a wide variety of client groups - acute and long-term psychiatric patients, psycho-geriatric patients, mentally handicapped people with psychiatric problems, children with psychological problems, offenders in the community and homeless people. Their employers include the NHS, an education authority, a probation service and voluntary organizations.
Self-image in the work of a client at the psychotherapy day unit, John Ford; valuing the middle ground - art therapy and manic depression, Roy Thornton; the revolving door - the day hospital and beyond, Claire Skailes; art therapy and community-based rehabilitation, Sarah Lewis; swimming upstream - art therapy with the psychogeriatric population in one health district, Karen Drucker; art therapy as part of the world of dyslexic children, Tish Feilden; art therapy with people with learning difficulties, Edward Kuczaj; ''It just happened'' - looking at crime events, Marian Liebmann; art therapy and homeless people, Claire Swainson.
`Well designed and illustratedÂ… It should be of special interest to any one involved in the caring professions or for those involved in staff training, and it could provide stimulating ideas for the inclusion of art therapy in the planning of future projects.'
