This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art-based practices have attracted interest as a potentially therapeutic resource because they are in line with the whole person framework currently being adopted by mental health services, as well as have high acceptability with consumers. Nevertheless, incorporation of art-based approaches into mental health services has been limited by claims of an insufficient evidence base. This case study will focus on the design and outcomes of my PhD study, which involved gaining a deeper understanding of the role of art making in mental health recovery among consumers of two psychosocial rehabilitation services in Victoria, Australia. The PhD study used a sequential multiple case study design to explore changes in the lives of 12 participants who attended a variety of art-based programs. Three rounds of interviews were conducted with each participant at 6-month intervals over a 1-year period to explore the changes and development in their experiences of art making and mental health recovery. Gaining a multifaceted perspective of this area of inquiry involved collecting both quantitative and qualitative data concurrently at each of the three interviews. The following account will provide a brief overview of the key challenges that arose in trying to integrate several methods in a complimentary way, while acknowledging the multiple forms of knowing that were created. Additionally, various lessons learned will be described to provide practical strategies for future mixed methods research studies.

This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, there has been a major increase in research into the effects of the arts on health and well-being, alongside developments in practice and policy activities in different countries across the WHO European Region and further afield. This report synthesizes the global evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being, with a specific focus on the WHO European Region. Results from over 3000 studies identified a major role for the arts in the prevention of ill health, promotion of health, and management and treatment of illness across the lifespan. The reviewed evidence included study designs such as uncontrolled pilot studies, case studies, small-scale cross-sectional surveys, nationally representative longitudinal cohort studies, community-wide ethnographies and randomized controlled trials from diverse disciplines. The beneficial impact of the arts could be furthered through acknowledging and acting on the growing evidence base; promoting arts engagement at the individual, local and national levels; and supporting cross-sectoral collaboration.

Download or read book Recovering Creativity written by Joy Paton and published by . This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhibition catalogue showcases artwork made by participants in the Recovering Creativity research project, an initiative of Flourish Australia and Western Sydney University. The project, Recovering Creativity: Understanding the role of art in mental health recovery through the voices and images of people with lived experience of major mental illness, was conducted from 2015 through to 2016. The research team - Associate Professor Sheridan Linnell, Dr Joy Paton and Professor Debbie Horsfall of the School of Social Sciences and Psychology at Western Sydney University together with Ms Jane Miller and Dr Ching-I Hsu of Flourish Australia - investigated the role of art in mental health recovery, seeking to extend knowledge of how arts-based interventions contribute and what role is played by community-managed mental health organisations. The research explored how art making within a supportive context influences the recovery, identity and social inclusion of people with lived experience. The artists shared their knowledge of recovery, assisting the researchers to develop a deeper appreciation of the relationships, ideas, values and practices that can sustain and be significant for people with lived experience. The resulting artworks emerged from a collaborative arts-based exploration of how creativity can inform the recovery process. Flourish Australia and Western Sydney University are grateful to the artists for making a significant contribution to the understanding of and evidence for arts-based recovery. Initially shown at the end of 2015, the Recovering Creativity exhibition was co-curated by Dr Joy Paton and Ms Jane Miller in collaboration with the artists/participants and chief investigator, Associate Professor Sheridan Linnell. This catalogue has now been produced to accompany the release of the Recovering Creativity research report which documents the project's findings. The Report provides clear evidence that art making in a group context supports the goals and principles of mental health recovery, and also makes recommendations targeting mental health policy, service delivery and professional practice. The Report is available at: http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/uws:35380

Download or read book Narratives of Art Practice and Mental Wellbeing written by Olivia Sagan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narratives of Art Practice and Mental Wellbeing draws on extensive research carried out with mental health service users who are also practicing artists. Using narrative data gained through hours of reflective conversation, it explores not whether art can contribute to positive wellbeing and improved mental health - as this is now established ground - but rather how art works, and the role art making can play in people's lives as they encounter crises, relapse, recovery or 'beyonding'. The book maps the delicate ways in which finding a means to tell our story sometimes is the creative project we seek, and offers a reminder of how intrinsically linked our life trajectories are with creative opportunities. It describes the wide range of artistic activity occurring in health and community settings and the meanings of these practices to people with histories of mental turbulence. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, the book explore the stories and various forms of visual arts practices spoken of, and considers the art making processes, the creative moments and the objects which in some cases have changed people's lives. The seven chapters of the book offer a blend of personal testimony, theory, debate, critique and celebration, and examine key topics of deliberation within the fields of art therapy, arts in health, community arts practice, participatory arts, and widening participation within arts education. It will be valuable reading for researchers, students, artists and practitioners in these fields.

Download or read book Art Therapy in the Treatment of Addiction and Trauma written by Patricia Quinn and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the benefits and uses of art therapy in the treatment of addiction and trauma, highlighting its effectiveness at revealing underlying causes and relapse triggers, as well as treating co-occurring conditions that impair learning and recovery. This book also focuses on art therapy for trauma within specific populations, including incarcerated individuals, military personnel and survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. Quinn discusses how art therapy is often carried out alongside combined approaches, such as CBT and DBT, and how it can help those with cognitive issues to learn through treatment. Furthermore, this book explores the benefits art therapy has for people with co-morbid conditions, such as dementia, emotional disorders and traumatic and acquired brain injuries. With co-authored chapters from leading researchers in art therapy, the book demonstrates how art therapy can help to uncover triggers, process trauma and find a means of self-expression whilst working towards a sustained recovery.

Download or read book Creative Mental Health Recovery written by Robert Hurst and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the importance of the role of creativity, particularly everyday creativity, in the lives of people on a mental health recovery journey. Through a review of historical and contemporary literature and research findings on the topic, the book starts by giving readers an idea of the state of play of conceptualisations of both creativity and recovery. The authors arrive at and present their own definitions of these concepts, using autoethnography to bring their own experiences into the text. They then illustrate to the reader what creativity in recovery looks like in practice, through interviews with and written accounts from creative individuals who have experienced a mental health recovery journey, grounding the theory with tangible stories of application. The interviews are analysed, with themes picked out and a model of creativity and recovery produced by the authors. Implications and possible future directions are then discussed. This unique presentation of creative recovery will be of interest to a wide range of mental health professionals, specifically those studying or practising mental health recovery and creative therapies.

Download or read book Development of Self Determination Through the Life Course written by Michael L. Wehmeyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the developmental aspects of the general psychological construct of self-determination. The term refers to self- (vs. other-) caused action—to people acting volitionally—as based on their own will. Research conducted in the fields of psychology and education shows the importance of self-determination to adolescent development and positive adult outcomes. The first part of this volume presents an overview of theories and historical antecedents of the construct. It looks at the role of self-determination in major theories of human agentic behavior and of adolescent development and individuation. The second part of the volume examines the developmental origins and the trajectory of self-determination in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and looks as aging aspects. The next part presents studies on the evolutionary aspects, individual differences and healthy psychological development. The last part of the book covers the development of causal and agentic capability.
