Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large part of humanity is suffering from mental conditions such as depression and anxiety that are perhaps compounded by architectural environments. Factory owners have noticed an overall increase in productivity and worker satisfaction as well as less worker absenteeism after implementing such qualitative concepts as day lighting and vegetation into their facilities. However, not everyone works at these facilities. Moreover, those who need help in achieving their optimal health may look to the experts. If it is physical health, depending on the condition, they may venture to the local gym or the emergency room. For mental health, they gravitate toward counseling centers or mental health facilities. However, of all the building types that exhibit understanding of therapeutic design, the mental health facility is severely lacking. Therefore, in order to start from the root of the problem, an in-depth look at the mental health facility is needed in order to address the issue of therapeutic environments. Creating a place for the awareness of mental health and offering the tools needed to regain mental stability would be of benefit not only to the psychological/psychiatric community but also to the architectural field, where elements could be used in other venues where they are needed. Through the careful use of materials and form, strategies may reveal the elements required for a healing environment. Day lighting, color therapy, and other sensory stimuli will ultimately affect the complex experiential moments and the lasting memory of well-designed spaces. By connecting to the mind through the enlivening experiences of the body, an entirely new concept of life can be realized. Incorporating these ideas into the design of a mental wellness center could heighten sensorial effects on patients, shedding light on possible disorders and convey to them the appropriate therapy needed in order to achieve a well-balanced life, both physically and mentally.

This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic architecture can be described as the people-centered, evidence-based discipline of the built environment, which aims to identify and support ways of incorporating those spatial elements that interact with people physiologically and psychologically into design. Architecture is an important factor in people's lives when they are well; when they experience ill-health and are less able to cope it becomes even more important. This book explores the design of specialized residential architecture for people with mental health problems. It sets out to show how building design can support medical and health related procedures and practices, leading to better therapeutic outcomes and an enhanced quality of life. Based on almost two decades of research, it aims to understand how architectural design interacts with the therapeutic milieu, the care programs, and actually living in the spaces. The book is divided into two main parts covering theory and research. Part one consists of three chapters: a brief introduction to old practices, current medical psychosocial and architectural thinking, and alternative thinking. Part two explores the research and conclusions derived from fieldwork. This book provides a fascinating insight into the effect that architectural design can have on all of us, but particularly on those with mental health problems. "Dr. Evangelia Chrysikou explains the many aspects of mental health and its relation to the quality of the built environment and I strongly recommend this very enjoyable book to anyone who would like to find out more about this important topic." - Prof. Alan Dilani, Ph.D. , International Academy for Design and Health "This book provides important, evidence-based data that will help to drive the design of new and refurbished psychiatric facilities and will no doubt become a highly-regarded resource for medical planners and architects." - Jo Makosinski , Editor, Building Better Healthcare

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies confirm that the physical environment influences health outcomes, emotional state, preference, satisfaction and orientation, but very little research has focused on mental and behavioural health settings. This book summarizes design principles and design research for individuals who are intending to design new mental and behavioural health facilities and those wishing to evaluate the quality of their existing facilities. The authors discuss mental and behavioural health systems, design guidelines, design research and existing standards, and provide examples of best practice. As behavioural and mental health populations vary in their needs, the primary focus is limited to environments that support acute care, outpatient and emergency care, residential care, veterans, pediatric patients, and the treatment of chemical dependency.

Book excerpt: The therapeutic landscape concept, first introduced early in the 1990s, has been widely employed in health/medical geography and gaining momentum in various health-related disciplines. This is the first book published in several years, and provides an introduction to the concept and its applications. Written by health/medical geographers and anthropologists, it addresses contemporary applications in the natural and built environments; for special populations, such as substance abusers; and in health care sites, a new and evolving area - and provides an array of critiques or contestations of the concept and its various applications. The conclusion of the work provides a critical evaluation of the development and progress of the concept to date, signposting the likely avenues for future investigation.

Book excerpt: Psychology bookshelves are filled with texts on different theories of how to do therapy and why one specific theory will work better than all the others. Yet the fact is research proves over and over again that all theories can work under the right conditions. This book takes a unique look at the specifics of those conditions that are facilitative to all forms of therapy, and how they are identified in different theories. The diverse experiences and viewpoints of an American humanistic therapist and a British psychodynamic therapist are brought together to explore the essential conditions needed for therapy to succeed. Extensive use of first-hand examples and thorough academic support combine to create vivid text, a sound theoretical base and practical therapeutic applications. The opening chapters draw on substantial research evidence which suggests that all theoretical approaches are equally effective in the hands of good therapists. It proposes that an important factor contributing to this effectiveness is the environment in which therapy is practised. Three central chapters give in-depth explorations of the unique ways in which the broad theoretical orientations of Psychodynamic, Existential-Humanistic, and Cognitive-Behavioural deal with the philosophy, labelling, function, perspective and implementation of a facilitative environment. A concluding chapter synthesizes information from these diverse orientations to identify core commonalities and critical differences between how therapists from different theoretical persuasions develop common understandings, maintain working client relationships and regulate their personal involvement in therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is about the therapeutic environment of the Maggie's centre and explores the many ways this is achieved. With an unconventional architecture as required by the design brief, combined with Maggie's psychological support programme, this special health facility allows extraordinary therapeutic effects in people, to the point that one can speak of therapeutic power. After tracing the story of the Maggie's centre, the book reveals its fundamentals: Maggie's Therapeutikos (the-mind-as-important-as-the-body), the Architectural Brief and the 'Client-Architect-Users' Triad. It continues by unfolding Maggie's synergy-that between people and place-which increases users' psychological flexibility helping them tolerate what was intolerable before. Although comfort and atmospheres are paramount, they are not enough to define the therapeutic environment of the Maggie's centre. Only by looking at neuroscience that can give us scientific explanations of empathy, feelings and emotions and only considering space neither neutral nor empty, but full of forces that envelope people in an embodied experience, can we explain what generates wellbeing in a Maggie's centre. The book concludes by critically evaluates the Maggie's centre as a model to be applied to other healthcare facilities and to architecture in general. It is essential reading for any student or professional working on therapeutic environments"--
