"This second volume expands and develops the discussion on arts therapies begun in volume one on the field's relationship with children and young people's mental health, demonstrating further contemporary research within international contexts. The book responds to a resounding call to address children and young people's mental health. It explores a unique mix of diverse arts modalities including art, music, dance, expressive arts and drama, creating opportunities for discourse and discussion of how the different arts therapies cohere and relate to each other. Chapters are truly global in approach, ranging from schools in India to children's hospices in the UK, refugee transit camps in Greece and residential care programmes for LGBTQ+ youth in the United States. Discussions from Greece, Taiwan, and innovative research from Israel, Norway and Scotland are also featured with reference to diverse social, political and cultural contexts. Ultimately, chapters prioritise the links between research, theory and practice, providing accessible and implication-led dialogue on contemporary issues. This book provides new insights into the expanding field of the arts therapies and will be of great interest to arts therapists as well as academics and students in the fields of arts therapies, social work, psychotherapy, health psychology, and education"--
