"This book provides a new model for creative mental health and considers the notion of creativity and its interaction with the creative arts and caring interventions provided by mental health nurses. … There are no comparable books available in mental health nursing. This one is an easy read with a lot of excellent ideas and interventions. It is very useful, not only for mental health nurses, but for all mental health service providers.” (Laura Kelly, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)
