Beskrivning
Therapeutic Arts in Pregnancy, Birth and New Parenthood explores the use of arts in relation to infertility, pregnancy, childbirth and new parenthood. It is the first book to bring all these subjects together into one accessible volume with an international perspective. The book looks at the role of the arts in health with respect to the pregnancy journey, from conception to new parenthood. It introduces readers to the ways in which art is being used with women who are experiencing different stages of childbearing – who may be unable to conceive and are struggling with infertility treatment, or who experience miscarriage and loss, a traumatic birth, or grief over the loss of a baby. It also elucidates how art-making offers a means for women to express and understand their changed sense of self-identity and sexuality as a result of pregnancy and motherhood. The book has an international compass and is essential reading for arts therapy trainees and arts in health courses and will also be of interest to other health professionals and artists.

Recensioner i media

This is a very important international contribution to the theory and practice of the arts and arts therapies, addressing the experiences of women over the whole field of childbearing. The editor acknowledges that ideals around pregnancy and childbirth are highly contested, and as can be expected from Professor Hogan, she gives a prominent place to the social, political and cultural context in which childbearing takes place. Many of the carefully selected contributors share very moving personal as well as professional experience. An original, accessible and rigorous account of a somewhat neglected area of work within the arts therapies. Highly recommended.Professor Diane Waller OBEMA(RCA) DPhil Dip Psych FRSAEmeritus Professor of Art PsychotherapyGoldsmiths University of LondonHon.President British Association of Art TherapistsThis is an important new book, which so usefully helps expand the knowledge of the role of Art Therapy and Therapeutic arts in such a sensitive and intimate clinical area of work. It will help promote the importance we should give to the very beginning of life and the emotional and psychological experiences that are faced by those involved.Ed Kuczaj Chair Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapists. This looks like a fascinating book, of interest to art therapists for our clients, but also for ourselves as a largely female profession.Dr Sally Skaife (Art Therapist)This innovative book offers a rich seam of expertise for those working in all fields associated with prospective parents and infants. For arts therapists working with this client group it will be especially enlightening.Professor Joy Schaverien PhD. Jungian Psychoanalyst, author of The Revealing Image: Analytical Art Psychotherapy in theory and Practice (1999) and Boarding School Syndrome: The Psychological Trauma of the ‘Privileged’ Child (2015)
