| Abstract | Background: In line with recovery theories, psychosocial programmes for people diagnosed with severe mental illness (SMI) should focus more on well-being and social connectivity outcomes rather than clinical symptoms. This paper assesses the impact of creative workshops participation on the psychological well-being, social connectivity and subjective experience of people diagnosed with SMI. Method: After participating in a creative workshop in a museum, 19 people, including service users, keyworkers, the art facilitator and a psychologist were interviewed. Four observers participated in the workshop and provided information about the creative process by means of a discussion group. Data were analysed in accordance with thematic analysis methodology and triangulated in order to obtain reliability. Results: Five essential categories were identified: learning process, social connection, psychological well-being, institutional change and mutual recovery. Conclusions: Creative activities may cause a transformation of the image of dysfunction associated with mental illness as well as promoting health and recovery. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
Impact of creative workshops for people with severe mental health problems: art as a means of recovery. Some keyworkers in the interviews detail various cognitive tasks that are promoted in the workshops: memory creativity imagination and work with personal conflicts. But beyond the communication and self-expression skills training what all users most value is that workshops are areas of horizontal and free expression on any topic. For example a keyworker found the workshops very healthy describing in detail the relationship changes that occur within the workshops and recognising the growth of their knowledge regarding the contemporary art. In addition this team noted some limitations such as the absence of interviews with people who withdraw from the workshops.
