Evaluation is crucial to the development and sustainability of Arts Therapy and Arts & Health practices.This guide supports practitioners in their quest to integrate thorough evaluation procedures in their everyday practices by providing practical guidance for designing, planning and implementing bespoke evaluation projects.Based on the authors' experience of designing and realising evaluation projects and running training workshops, a range of suggestions are offered for developing appropriate timelines and collection tools, ensuring organisational diplomacy, and managing what can be a delicate balance of truth, fact and perception.This guide will help practitioners to evaluate their services and projects by taking into consideration the unique profile of the practice, the workplace, clients, project participants, and sectors.

A Guide to Evaluation for Arts Therapists and Arts & Health Practitioners provides not only a toolkit of methods by also a consideration of the wider aspects of the evaluation process from the perspectives of the organisation and stakeholders, teamwork, participants and ethics... I was impressed with the authors' very clear definition of the differences between theses and ensuing implications along with their ideas on how to integrate evaluation into practice in differing contexts... The authors are ambitious... inspire practitioners to dare to collect data in ways that may seem counterintuitive... Great attention is given to the planning of the evaluation... The text serves as an introduction to these methods, is brief and straightforward and would be useful for anyone new to methods of evaluation.
