Description

This important book develops a critical understanding of the bridging of arts and health domains, drawing on models and perspectives from social sciences to develop the case for arts and health as a social movement. This interdisciplinary perspective offers a new research agenda that can help to inform future developments and sustainability in arts, health and well-being.

Daykin begins with an overview of the current evidence base and a review of current challenges for research, policy and practice. Later chapters explore the international field of health and the arts; arts, with well-being as a social movement; and boundary work and the role of boundary objects in the field. The book also includes sections summarising research findings and evidence in arts and health research and examples from specific research projects conducted by the author, chosen to highlight particularly widespread challenges across many arts, health and well-being contexts.

Arts, Health and Well-Being: A Critical Perspective on Research, Policy and Practice is valuable reading for students in sociology, psychology, social work, nursing, psychiatry, creative and performing arts, public health and policymakers and practitioners in these fields.

Reviews

Professor Norma Daykin is one of our most experienced and respected arts and health academics and her work is highly valued by everyone involved in this burgeoning area of practice, research and policy. The book is characterised by great clarity of thought and a deep understanding of the history of the field. It is particularly timely that Norma offers a new lens on our work with her focus on social movement theory as we build on the current momentum in the UK and internationally

Alex Coulter, director of Arts & Health South West (AHSW)

Norma Daykin provides an engaging, concise and critical introduction to the growing field of arts and health. It offers the reader insights into the various ways in which the creative arts contribute to health care but also offers a challenge to traditional biomedical perspectives on health and illness.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
