“…This may be influenced by individuals' needs and abilities, the therapeutic relationship, the creation of art, and by therapists' observations, reflections, and interpretations which are not necessarily shared with individuals. 51 These processes are not easy to measure objectively, 59 highlighting the difficulty in measuring change in art therapy. 22 The primary outcome measures in the two RCTs (symptoms of psychosis and global functioning) may not have been the most appropriate targets for art therapy, 28 or captured what participants found beneficial about it.…”

“…20, 21 Springham and Brooker suggested that 21 RCTs are usually conducted at later stages when researchers understand how interventions work and what changes can be brought about by different aspects of it. 59 Few studies in this review defined the mechanisms of art therapy and these were not easily named by art therapists. 51 Some identified that the mechanisms of change were the therapeutic relationships, therapists' role in containing individuals, the process of creating art, the final art products, 51,54 and group process.…”

This narrative review examines the effectiveness of Art Therapy (AT) for people with psychosis and explores whether art therapy is a meaningful and acceptable intervention. Seven electronic databases were searched for empirical papers that concerned the use of art therapy with adults with psychosis that were published from 2007 onwards. The search identified eighteen papers. The highest quality quantitative articles provided inconclusive evidence for the effectiveness of art therapy. The highest quality qualitative articles indicated that therapists and clients considered art therapy to be a beneficial, meaningful, and acceptable intervention, although this was based on limited studies. There is a discrepancy between the quantitative evidence regarding art therapy effectiveness and the qualitative evidence highlighting the value given to it by clients and therapists. Theoretical, clinical, and methodological issues are discussed in light of the development of more robust research, which is needed to corroborate individuals' experiences and guide evidence-based practice.

Theoretical, clinical, and methodological issues are discussed in light of the development of more robust research, which is needed to corroborate individuals' experiences and guide evidence-based practice. This support for the helpfulness of art therapy is rooted in theory and clinical experience and is weakly substantiated by rigorous, controlled research. National guidelines on the treatment of specific conditions, are based on the highest quality scientific evidence, which includes Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews which have at least one RCT. 13By comparison, studies which use cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, or single case designs are considered to provide weaker evidence. 14The effectiveness of art therapy is primarily established through RCTs. In an early Cochrane review, the lack of RCTs prevented conclusions from being drawn about the effectiveness of art therapy for people with schizophrenia. 15 Nevertheless, the two reviewed studies 16,17 contributed The growing interest in art therapy is also evident through recent systema...

“…Some used AIRs to add the service user experience into case study methodology (Banks, 2012). Others have collaborated within the ATPRN to develop semi‐structured interviews: the reflect interview, based on this method (Springham & Brooker, 2010, 2013) and the AIRs are spreading widely through the ATPRN, bringing together practitioners in research projects in various fields.…”

Aim: This article gives an overview of the setting up of the Art Therapy Practice Research Network (ATPRN) in 2000, amidst a culture resistant to research. The authors discuss their experiences in changing this culture and encouraging art therapists to become practitioner/researchers. They identify learning points that may be helpful for other professionals who want to form new practice research networks (PRNs). Context: The research and practice context contemporary to the ATPRN foundation is outlined and identified as a significant influence on its inception and development. Key events in the 14 years of the PRN's life and articles on art therapy and psychotherapy research published at the time of the ATPRN foundation are used to illuminate the historical context. ATPRN newsletters and symposium reports were consulted to identify themes and issues across 14 years of development and growth. Learning points: Several learning points are identified and listed as useful factors to address when setting up and maintaining a PRN and include: shape the culture from the start; review and revise; get practical together; encourage members' presentations; build synergy with professional body; embed the ATPRN around all aspects of research publication. Conclusions: Successful PRNs depend on making practitioners feel included from the start by acknowledging fear and anxiety about research. Providing practical projects helped practitioners to feel less isolated by being part of a meaningful and productive network. Maintaining and developing PRNs is an iterative process that demands constant reviewing and revising.

“…The projects undertaken in ResearchNet used a range of approaches including Audio Image Recording methods (Springham & Brooker, 2013); auto-ethnographic research (Johnson et al, 2016) and Experience-based Co-Design (Bate & Robert, 2007). ResearchNet also collaborated externally with groups such as Time to Change, London Ambulance Service and London Metropolitan Police.…”
