The Invention of ›Outsider Art‹
What does it mean to be called an ›Outsider‹? Marion Scherr investigates structural inequalities and the myth of the Other in Western art history, examining the role of ›Outsider Art‹ in contemporary art worlds in the UK. By shifting the focus from art world professionals to those labelled ›Outsider Artists‹, she counteracts one-sided representations of them being otherworldly, raw, and uninfluenced. Instead, the artists are introduced as multi-faceted individuals in constant exchange with their social environment, employing diverse strategies in dealing with their exclusion. The book reframes their voices and artworks as complex, serious and meaningful cultural contributions, and challenges their attested Otherness in favour of a more inclusive, all-encompassing understanding of art.

The Mystery of God and the Power of Redemptive Relationships
With these essays we honour Roy Bradley, who played a major role in the development of pastoral care in Australia, particularly in the introduction of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). His dual training as a priest and CPE supervisor enabled him to embrace the modern emphasis on the psychological and spiritual need of the individual without losing sight of the key elements of the long-standing faith traditions of pastoral care. Roy also had a great intuitive capacity to hold all these threads together in his ministry and supervision. All this eventually led him to the distillation of pastoral care as the art of helping people remain open to the mystery of God through the power of redemptive relationships. The statement could be embraced by people from different religious traditions or by people whose spirituality does not stand in any such tradition. Roy's distillation of pastoral care holds together mystery and power, the real power of redemptive relationships in diverse settings and shows the depth of Roy's pioneering work. In Roy's hands, CPE took a distinctive Australian form shown in the breadth of the many programmes he pioneered across the country over several decades.
The Person in Art
Through an interdisciplinary multicultural approach, this book explores the role of psychiatric art in facilitating personal empowerment, fostering the healing process, and confronting stigma. Today when we are constantly reminded of the dangers of thinking in exclusive terms, art affords us a model of dialogue in which the other is accepted as an equal conversation partner. Art fosters co-operative communication in which dignity and individuality of a mental health patient may be reaffirmed. At the same time, art allows for critical distance, retrospection, and vast opportunities for individual choice, and thus may be conducive to an improved self-image and self-esteem. The book discusses n...
