Publisher's Synopsis
The definition uses theories drawn from occupational therapy and psychology, with a firm grounding in practical applications. The context and processes of using this approach are discussed and considered within the changing climate of current health care. The authors, both experienced therapists, provide a comprehensive overview of the use of creative therapies with a focus on the role of the practice within occupational therapy, but also with a wider awareness of its role within the more general context of the health care profession. The three-part structure allows the book to develop from the necessary theorectical discussions, moving on to the practical experience of using the media, and concluding with discussions of some of the professional issues surrounding the use of creative therapies.
