| Summary: | Arts Therapies and The Mental Health of Children and Young People presents innovative research, theoryand practice in the arts therapies. Thedifferent social, cultural and politicalcontexts and developmental age groups illustrate and underscore the richness and diversity of contemporary arts therapies' creative response to the needs of childrenand young people in contrasting locations. The book represents an acknowledgement of the high rates of mental disorders in children and young people and addresses this subject. In presenting an array of responses from arts therapists working with children and young people in different contexts and countries, the book highlights the particular features of distinct art forms, yet also points to the potential dialogue between disciplines. Chapters show how the expressive potential and appeal of the arts, when facilitated within the therapeutic relationship,are crucial in fostering hope in the future and the capacity for trust in self and others. This book will be of great interest to arts therapists as well as academics and postgraduate students in the fields of arts therapies, social work, psychotherapy, health psychology, and education. |
