Aprašymas

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 wellbeing.

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, health and wellbeing 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 wellbeing 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, public health and policy makers and practitioners in these fields.
