Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

What if the work of a nurse physio or homecare worker was designated an art so that the qualities of the experiences they create became understood as aesthetic qualities? What if the interactions created by artists directors dancers or workshop facilitators were understood as works of care? Care Aesthetics is the first full-length book to explore these questions and examine the work of carer artists and artist carers to make the case for the importance of valuing and supporting aesthetically caring relations across multiple aspects of our lives. Theoretically and practically the book outlines the implications of care aesthetics for the socially engaged arts field and health and social care and for acts of aesthetic care in the everyday. Part 1 of the book outlines the approaches to aesthetics and to care theory that are necessary to make and defend the concept of care aesthetics. Part 2 then tests this through practice examining socially engaged arts and health and social care through its lens. It makes the case for careful art exploring the implications of care aesthetics for participatory or applied arts. Then it argues for artful care and how an aesthetic orientation to care practices might challenge some of the inadequacies of contemporary care. This is a vital paradigm-shifting book for anyone engaged with socially engaged arts or social and health care practices on an academic or professional level. | Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

Behavioral Integrative Care Treatments That Work in the Primary Care Setting

Behavioral Integrative Care Treatments That Work in the Primary Care Setting

Integrated care is arguably one of the most important developments in the delivery of health care over the last few years. This new approach to health care roughly defined as the provision of behavioral or mental health care in a way that is more coordinated with the primary medical healthcare setting has the focused goal of providing a more complete care for the patient. This book focuses on three main content areas. Firstly the treatment of psychological problems in the context of primary medical care will be addressed in several chapters. Secondly several chapters address co-morbid psychological factors that play a key role in the effective medical management of physical diseases either acute or chronic. Finally several chapters address issues relevant to the overall practice of integrated care. This book is intended to extend and bridge the existing literatures of integrated care behavioral medicine consultation-liaison psychiatry medical cost offset and healthcare economics by providing a comprehensive and current handbook of the clinical protocols that might be applied to the practice of integrated care. | Behavioral Integrative Care Treatments That Work in the Primary Care Setting

Curating with Care

Curating with Care

This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving. Social and ecological struggles for a different planetary culture based on care and respect for the dignity of life are reflected in contemporary curatorial practices that explore human and non-human interdependence. The prevalence of themes of care in curating is a response to a dual crisis: the crisis of social and ecological care that characterizes global politics and the professional crisis of curating under the pressures of the increasingly commercialized cultural landscape. Foregrounding that all beings depend on each other for life and survival this book collects theoretical essays methodological challenges and case studies from curators working in different global geographies to explore the range of ways in which curatorial labour is rendered as care. Practising curators activists and theorists situate curatorial labour in the context of today’s general care crisis. This volume answers to the call to more fully understand how their transformative work allows for imagining the future of bodily social and environmental care and the ethics of interdependency differently. | Curating with Care

Ethical Health Care

Ethical Health Care

Offering a format that is significantly different than that offered by other books Ethical Health Care beings by asking what is meant by health and how it is achieved. The book then proceeds to explore with care and context the nature of the relationship between patients and clinicians health care providers and the societies in which they inhabit and finally the relationship between the health care enterprise and the international community. By emphasizing the ethical issues that arise in the broad quest to foster human health and appreciating that health is not primarily a function of medical interventions Ethical Health Care introduces students to problems such as the international distribution of pharmaceuticals and the dangers of reemerging infections. To a far greater extent than is done traditionally Ethical Health Care provides an interdisciplinary perspective to bioethics relying heavily upon the teachings of economics law and public health.

First published in 1999 the overall aim of the book is to provide a comprehensive critical guide to the theory and practice of residential care. This is achieved by analysing the history and development of residential child care examining the current legislative framework and analysing research. The volume has been written against the background of a crisis of confidence in residential child care. The system is often seen as facing perpetual problems of abuse lack of control and crime. This book seeks to both understand and respond to this challenging situation. Understanding Residential Child Care commences by providing historical and theoretical perspectives. Having provided this analysis the authors move on to examine the empowerment of young people the framework provided by the Children Act the role of the manager the importance of supporting and supervising staff abuse in care and the experience of leaving care. The book concludes with a chapter suggesting a way forward for residential child care. The core concept explored and applied throughout the book is that of empowerment. It is suggested that this concept can act as an organising framework for re-casting residential child care in a positive manner so that a quality environment can be provided which can effectively protect and promote the best interests of the child.
