Academics and practitioners from around the world overview approaches and research in the use of music, art, drama, and dance movement therapies in settings such as mainstream classrooms, special education settings, and student support units, stressing that the type of setting that arts therapists work in can have a major impact on the therapeutic orientation of the work. Emphasis is placed on research and routine evaluation completed in the field that follows quantitative, qualitative, and/or arts-based methodologies. The book includes examples of work from all four arts therapies, such as solution-focused brief drama therapy group work in mainstream education in Sri Lanka, art therapy for children with learning difficulties who have experienced trauma, and dance therapy for children on the autism spectrum.
