Google Preview: Exploring the relationship between research and practice in the arts therapies, this book examines the effects and processes of arts therapies interventions in health, education, community and social services settings, highlighting the urgent need for research to be undertaken and communicated to policy makers in order for it to have an effect on practice. It is written by specialists in the various areas of arts therapy, addressing themes which are relevant to all arts therapists. In addition, it discusses the links between research and practice in specific areas of arts therapy, examining different approaches and methodologies used in relation to different patient/client groups and settings.
