“Intellectual innovators cannot anticipate what will become of the seeds they sow, but I think Donald Schön would have been so pleased at this work on clinicians as reflective designers. These authors are refreshed by Schön’s ideas about the studio as a third space for innovation, invention, and reconsideration…and Schön’s ideas are refreshed by their work. It is inspiring to watch traditions passed down across generations and become something new in the process.”

“Psychology’s New Design Science raises important questions for all sectors of human understanding. Since physical forms influence and shape thought, we might ask how well we are doing in designing environments that positively influence creativity and well-being, how current we are –in relation to new media—in shaping the world, and the extent to which our presentations of what we do within the arts therapies look and feel like the healing process of creative transformation.”
