Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:02 29 November 2016 Time-Limited Art Psychotherapy Time-Limited Art Psychotherapy: Developments in theory and practice comes at a watershed in the provision of art psychotherapy in public services. The increase in ‘payment by results’, clinical throughput and evidence-based practice, as well as the changing NHS context means there is an increasing need to provide effective therapeutic treatments within brief time limits where appropriate. The book brings together the developments in theory and practice in time- limited working strategies emerging in the fi eld. The contributors, all practising therapists, examine the practice of time-limited art psychotherapy with different clients in a range of settings, with a variety of approaches, showing how they react and adapt to the changing face of mental health services. Time-Limited Art Psychotherapy will be essential reading to art psychotherapists, trainers and trainees in art psychotherapy and other schools of psychotherapy who integrate creative approaches within their practice. It will also form a useful contribution to the continuing professional development for a range of psycho- logical therapists and practitioners of integrated psychotherapies such as CAT and mentalization-based therapies amongst others.
