I am about to graduate w/ my associates in nursing, and was wondering how I was going to incorporate a nursing career with my lifelong interests in art. So far, my choice for area to work in is psych, which I think is the best place for me to be. Looking forward to learning more, and any advice anyone can give me about continuing my education would be very appreciated!

]]> Comment on Is it Art Therapy? by Wounded Genius http://creativityinhealthcare.com/2009/12/13/is-it-art-therapy/#comment-38 Sun, 23 May 2010 09:31:05 +0000 http://martihand.wordpress.com/?p=410#comment-38 What a great post. I had never thought of the creative process being introduced through anyone but an “art therapist”. To be honest, there aren’t that many therapists who welcome/encourage the creative process as it is all so focused on the speaking. But it makes sense because in both cases as you point out, the client/patient is supposed, in time, to become their own therapist.

Great work

Thanks!

It’s a shame the images have to be odourless really: it’d be great to bring the smell of grass etc. to patients too. Unless they’re allergic!

After linking, I thought the wide format pictures were windows bringing the outdoors in…access to nature (be it real or in pictures) is healing and healing is a multi-dimensional experience. The time for corporating nature, creativity and the arts into healthcare has come:).

I recently heard about a French hospital that’s plastered the corridors with textured images – so patients and staff feel like they’re outside.

Cool, no?

I started a project ten years ago to help improve the psyche of patients who are hospitalized. Every day, I solicit help to move the project forward clinically, but cannot find anyone to help me. I am confused about the reasons for this resistance, because I know that these five new ideas are needed.
I am hoping that you will be kind enough to help me with this project. You have the contacts needed to see it move forward to clinical trials etc. It does have unique ideas that would be newsworthy for a column or story idea.
I also wanted to let you know that my KID’S CLUB unit is available for gratis donation. I cannot even give this valuable ( $1300) unit away. The project script and photos are in my Blog at : http://duanewyatt.wordpress.com. I hope that you will want to help this project, thanks very much. Duane Wyatt
