Art Therapy in In-patient Settings by Maggie Batchelar
Bringing together the voices of academics, art psychotherapists, and service users, this unique volume explores the contemporary impact of Edward Adamson’s pioneering work on art therapy practices in in-patient settings.
Drawing on both primary and secondary sources, as well as case studies, the book explores the extent to which Adamson’s work has become a conceptual framework for art therapy in a variety of in-patient settings today. It describes how practice contributes to the shift in mental health provision towards a trauma-informed culture, and represents a research-led rationale for increased and reliable provision of arts therapies in in-patient settings as a vital contribution to patient experience and recovery. Chapters cover key elements such as the open studio model, the role of the art therapist, art therapy as personal narrative, art therapy in forensic settings, and its use in supporting the wellbeing of staff in in-patient settings. The volume locates Adamson’s legacy within a changing healthcare framework, reflecting on the future of art therapy in the context of evolving government policy, financial restraints and – in the UK – the changing face of the NHS.
This volume will be of interest to researchers, scholar-practitioners, psychotherapists and postgraduate students in the fields of arts therapies, the history of psychology and mental health provision and, more broadly, mental health nursing and policy. It will give senior leaders an opportunity to understand the contribution of arts therapists to improving the quality of care for service users and staff.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
