Art Therapy and Learning Disabilities Summary

Art Therapy and Learning Disabilities: Don't guess my happiness by Stephanie Bull

In this book Stephanie Bull and Kevin O'Farrell bring together practising clinicians who provide an insight into using contemporary art therapy with people with learning disabilities. The authentic voice of people who have learning disabilities is central to the book, and case examples, snapshots of thoughts, dialogue, photographs and artwork are included to ensure that the subjects' voices are heard.

The book covers:

  • having a learning disability

  • loss and bereavement

  • attachment and separation

  • infantilisation

  • fear

  • powerlessness

  • self and identity.

This accessible and thought-provoking book is essential reading for anyone involved with people with learning disabilities including art therapists, psychotherapists, counsellors, students and carers.

Art Therapy and Learning Disabilities Reviews

I am greatly honoured to be asked to endorse this book: its publication is an occasion to rejoice in the rich and diverse art therapy practice it depicts but primarily, in the sensitive involvement of service users and carers. How refreshing it is to really hear their voices and see the world from their perspective! Within a book dedicated to Learning Disability, the clients' abilities, their strength and inner resources shine through. I know from my discussions with them that it has taken the editors, Stephanie Bull and Kevin O' Farrell much courage and dedication to take this stance as it sometimes felt like a step into the unknown, away from the classical boundaries of therapy. This book however demonstrates that intelligent, sensitive and client-centred approaches to art therapy practice are immensely effective for service users and rewarding for the practitioners. It also addresses several related issues such as physical disabilities and will therefore be of interest to anybody connected with this work and provide food for thought to many clinicians regardless of their professional backgrounds. As it uses clear and accessible language throughout, it is also accessible to anyone who has a link with learning disabilities and manages to engage lay readers through good use of narratives and the art. - Val Huet, Art Therapist & Organisation Consultant; Chief Executive Officer, British Association of Art Therapists
