Describing current initiatives in the use of the arts in health and health care, this book aims to stimulate wider interest in the therapeutic aspects of art. Adopting a practical approach, the contributors aim to help clinical and professional staff at all levels to introduce and develop the use of arts in their own spheres of influence. They show that art must be an integral part of people's lives and stress that environment and the arts can affect the individual and aesthetic stimuli can change mood and behaviour. They examine many aspects of the use of art, including: getting started, whether from scratch or by renovation; involving the community; involving different user groups, such as older people and people with learning disabilities; evaluating the effect of art on patients' recovery and on staff attitude; and examples of projects that have already been set up.
