Bridging the Creative Arts Therapies and Arts in Health

This 2022 academic edited volume from Jessica Kingsley Publishers addresses a gap that practitioners in music therapy, art therapy, dance therapy, and community arts programs have long felt: the need for a shared framework across clinical and community settings. Donna Betts and Val Huet bring together international contributors whose case studies span a genuinely wide range of global contexts, making the breadth of perspective one of the book's real strengths. A review in the Art Therapy journal affirmed its unifying vision. The honest caveat is equally plain: this is a specialized professional text with an academic price point and a narrow intended audience. Clinicians, therapists, and healthcare administrators in arts-related fields will find it valuable; general readers almost certainly will not.
