The educational constituency for the arts is rapidly expanding
beyond the conventional school setting to include the wider
community. Cultivating the Arts in Education and Therapy is a much
needed textbook for courses in the training of arts teachers, arts
therapists and community artists. Malcolm Ross brings together the
latest research on human empathy and creativity to reposition the
arts as central to the effective initiation and management of
change in contemporary society. The book integrates traditional
Chinese Five Element Theory, also known as The Five Phases of
Change, with contemporary Western psychological and cultural
studies, to form a new Syncretic Model of creative artistic
practice. Ross sets empathy and authenticity at the heart of the
curriculum -- not just the arts curriculum but the whole
curriculum. The Syncretic Model is explored and validated through
an analysis of interviews with practising, successful artists, and
in a comprehensive review of the latest neuro-scientific research
into human consciousness and emotion. Finally, drawing upon his
extensive experience the author offers practical help in using the
Syncretic Model to educational and therapy professionals working
and training in the arts. For training and practising arts
therapists the book will supply a much needed comprehensive
rationale at a time when the need for a new research and
theoretical underpinning of practice is recognised to be urgent.
With the demand for their services growing and pressure to
demonstrate effectiveness mounting, the arts therapy community is
looking to build bridges between the different therapies and across
national boundaries. This book offers a coherent, co-ordinating
framework for a comprehensive reflective practice.
