Book excerpt: In 2019 the WHO came out with a scoping review related to the evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being. In the last yeast, in fact, literature has recognized the direct and indirect benefits of art in the prevention and promotion of mental and physical health and in the management and treatment of disease. Although some countries have made progress in developing policies that make use of the arts to support health and well-being, many have not yet addressed the opportunities that exist for using the arts to support health, and for others policy activities have been time limited. Nonetheless, the relationship between art and health has existed since the birth of medicine itself and has strongly influenced its history and its evolution. Art therapy is the main expression of art in health care. The integration of art in traditional health assistance paths sustains the need to have a holistic approach to health, wellness, and well-being both of patients and other stakeholders, including caregivers and healthcare professionals. Currently the main area of art therapy application is mental health with especially regards to disability, both in developmental age and in elderly and both to cognitive and physical impairment and dementia. However, it is important to remark that mental health does not only refer to mental illness, but also to people's emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Download or read book Exploring the Role of Art Making in Mental Health Recovery Using Mixed Methods Research written by Van Lith and published by . 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.

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 Outsider Art and Art Therapy written by Rachel Cohen and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outsider art, traditionally the work of psychiatric patients, offenders and minority groups, and art therapy have shared histories of art created in psychiatric care. As the two fields grow, this book reveals the current issues faced by both disciplines and traces their shared histories to help them build clearer and more coherent identities. More often than not, the history of art therapy has been tied to psychological and psychiatric roots, which has led to problems in defining the field and forced boundaries between what is considered 'art' and what is considered 'art therapy'. Similarly, the name and identity of outsider art is constantly debated. By viewing art therapy and outsider art through their shared histories, this book helps to alleviate the challenges and issues of definition faced by the fields today.
