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.
