Cultural Landscapes in the Art Therapies is an exploration of the ways cultural issues impact on the current theories and practices of the arts therapies and how they are adressed in arts therapies´ training and education.
The discussion of this is multifaceted, ranging from reflections on the relationship between cultures and people's identities to intercultural conflicts and how to face them. From an international group of authors, there are attempts to answer diverse questions from several perspectives. For example: how can the arts therapies contribute to disentangling dilemmas of identity? How do arts therapies offer universal languages that facilitate mutual understanding? How do they support a search for intercultural communication? Such philosophical and practical and clinical considerations: in what ways might the arts therapies offer a meeting place for diversity and encourage participation from disenfranchised groups? And how might they engage with 'otherness' and support dialog between groups in conflict?
