Description

Play and Wellbeing by Routledge explores the transformative role of play in healthcare and patient recovery across diverse settings. This volume examines how play functions in varied contexts including hospital clown work inspired by Patch Adams, Australian dementia care facilities, post-earthquake New Zealand preschools, and Irish community housing complexes. The book demonstrates play's shaman-like capacity to marshal symbolic resources and re-align patient perception and healing in increasingly patient-centered healthcare systems. By situating health and illness within social contexts, this work provides healthcare practitioners, paediatricians, and wellness professionals with insights into how play serves as a vital therapeutic tool. The featured studies reveal practical applications of play-based approaches across age groups and care settings, making it an essential resource for understanding health outcomes through a play-focused lens.
