Description

"This book provides an overview of the innovative, arts-based research method of Body Mapping and offers a snapshot of the field. The review of body-mapping projects by Boydell and her colleagues confirms the potential research and therapeutic benefits associated with body-mapping. The book describes a series of body mapping research projects that focus on populations marginalised by disability, mental health status, and other vulnerable identities. Chapters focus on summarising the current state of the art, its application with marginalised groups, analytic strategies for body mapping, highlighting body mapping as a creation and a dissemination process, emerging body mapping techniques including web-based, virtual reality, and wearable technology applications, and measuring the impact of body maps on planning, practice and behaviour. Contributors and editors include interdisciplinary experts from the fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology and beyond"--
