Artistic Applications through Critical Autoethnography (eBook)

This book promotes a 'therapeutic' aspect of autoethnographic inquiry, performance, presentation, and exhibition. The edited collection engages art, artistic expression, and artistic reflections on lived experience as performative artistic interventions and therapeutics in coping.

It is structured around a series of textual autoethnographic performances, position statements by expressive art therapists, evidenced pieces of art and essays. Chapter authors include practising art therapists, professors of expressive art therapies, students, and practitioners of autoethnography. Section 5 includes study questions, prompts, and probes for both students and researchers.

In addition to students and researchers interested in qualitative research methodologies, people interested in expressive art therapies, psychotherapy, psychology, and counselling will find this book compelling.
