Author: Patty Magee 

Arts in health care is well published; but not as revealed and implemented through the eyes of nursing theory, leading to successful outcome of one individual nurse.

Demonstrating how one theory-guided nurse can boldly implement and advance human caring and healing through Watsons Theory of Human Caring; in turn this work serves as a professional practice model for mature caring practices.

Explicating nursing theory -guided, use of art and artistry with patients to create caring-healing environments and outcomes. Making Art with Intention as a theory-guided Caring-Healing modality, is a book born from collected field notes of a nursing practice inspired by Watson's Theory of Human Caring and Ten Caritas Processes®.

The handbook is divided into three major themes: Reflection, Education, and Instruction. The goals of writing the book are to inform, expand, and modify practices in healthcare to a vocation where humanity is primary; offering creative, intellectual and concrete experiential practices of art as caring/healing for self/other.

Topics of the book include the introduction of the Ten Caritas Processes® with examples of first-hand experiences that define each process with patient stories. The documentations in the book expand a decade of Caritas experiences including the creation of a Hospital Caring Arts Program; Organizational charts; Planning events; and Creative activities for patients, and all individuals surrounding the patient.

In this book, you will hear the stories of patients and caregivers for whom art opened a window to their souls and their need to be heard and to be healed .

Art is Healing for all Professions .

While “Making Art With Intention” primarily speaks to the clinical community, I found it immensely profound as a retired non-healthcare professional who has found art to be both healing and stimulating. The author opens the door to a unique connection between art and nursing, providing a clear and persuasive peek into a future where the two coalesce to provide caring and healing on a deeper level. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand this connection better for themselves or their profession.
