The health humanities is a rapidly rising field, advancing an
inclusive, democratizing, activist, applied, critical, and
culturally diverse approach to delivering health and well-being
through the arts and humanities. It has generated new kinds of
interdisciplinary research, knowledge, and communities of practice
globally. It has also acted to bring greater coherence and
political force to contributions across a range of related
disciplines and traditions. In this volume, a formidable set of
authors explore the history, current state, and future of the
health humanities, in particular how its vision of the arts and
humanities: Promotes creative public health. Opens new routes to
health and well-being. Informs and drives better health care.
Interrogates relationships between ill health and social equality.
Develops humanist theory in relation to health and social care
practice. Foregrounds cultural difference as a resource for
positive change in society. Tests the humanity of an increasingly
globalized health-care system. Looks to overcome structural and
process obstacles to cross-disciplinary ventures. Champions
co-construction, co-design, and mutuality in solving health and
well-being challenges. Showcases less familiar, prominent, or
celebrated creative practices. Includes multiple perspectives on
the value and health benefits of the arts and humanities not
limited to or dominated by medicine. Divided into two main
sections, the Companion looks at "Reflections and Critical
Perspectives," offering current thinking and definitions within
health humanities, and "Applications," comprising a wide selection
of applied arts and humanities practices from comedy, writing, and
dancing to yoga, cooking, and horticultural display.
