"The rapidly growing field known as expressive arts emerged from
the capacity of the arts to address human suffering. Expressive
Arts for Social Work and Social Change embraces this belief by
exploring how the arts inform the practice of social work as agents
for social action, justice, and change. This welcome volume
provides readers with a wide range of examples, illustrations, and
approaches that social workers and all human service
professionals
can apply to their work with individuals, families, and
communities."

"This book on expressive arts innovation in social work is
heartening, offering theoretical and practical insights, exploring
a range of arts approaches, and demonstrating potential for
individual and collective healing, empowerment, and transformation.
It shows that creative storytelling, expression of feelings,
exploration of social issues, and reflection have profound effects
for human well-being, ethical practice, and social justice. An
invaluable resource
for human services practitioners, researchers, and educators
seeking the power of arts engagement."
- Diane Conrad, PhD, MEd, BEd, BFA, Associate Professor, Department
of Secondary Education, University of Alberta
"Expressive Arts for Social Work and Social Change shows how we
need the embodied, hermeneutic elements of arts as a central medium
through which people enhance resilience and deal with social
adversity and injustice. The book is an excellent and welcome
addition to this important direction: it describes a broad range of
arts interventions (including photography movement and music in
addition to visual art), relates to a broad range of populations,
and
most importantly, contextualizes these case studies within the
Canadian context of ecological and post-colonialist theories of
person in place and space."
