Art therapy colleague Dr. Diane Waller, Emeritus Professor of Art Psychotherapy Goldsmiths, University of London and Honorary Visiting Professor, Dept. of Psychological Medicine, Imperial College London, is delighted to announce the formation of a research centre which will co-ordinate multidisciplinary research in the arts and arts therapies, psychotherapy, and mental health. The Centre (ICRA) aims to act as a facilitator for improving the evidence base in arts therapies in particular. Its location within a Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health will be of particular value to new proposed research that will examine the effects of arts therapies for people with Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders as well as for conditions that impact on mental health and well-being.
