FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is about the therapeutic environment of the Maggies centre and explores the many ways this is achieved. With an unconventional architecture as required by the design brief, combined with Maggies 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 Maggies centre, the book reveals its fundamentals: Maggies Therapeutikos (the-mind-as-important-as-the-body), the Architectural Brief and the Client-Architect-Users Triad. It continues by unfolding Maggies 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 Maggies 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 envelop people in an embodied experience, can we explain what generates wellbeing in a Maggies centre.The book concludes by critically evaluating the Maggies 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.

Explaining our philosophy with strength and passion, this book promotes Maggies values that hopefully go beyond healthcare and reach a wider architectural audience." Dame Laura Lee, Maggies CEO"And I came in and I was in the centre for about three hours, and the initial feeling of walking through that door, and just looking up and seeing it, was there even then and felt that powerful, that I was in a powerful place. I think I felt I was in a safe place. And thats what I feel when Ive come into Maggies, I feel safe, here."Malita, Maggies Dundee visitor"I couldnt believe my cancer diagnosis, but then I thought I can come here every day! I can sit in a corner and cry some time, yeah! I swear to God, if I didnt have it, I dont think I would be ok as I am."Elizabeth, Maggies Barts visitor"This is not the business of healthcare, but it is the business of the spirit. And it really is a very spiritual place, in a non-religious way."
