In recent decades, both medical humanities and medical history have
emerged as rich and varied sub-disciplines. Medicine, Health and
the Arts is a collection of specially commissioned essays designed
to bring together different approaches to these complex fields.
Written by a selection of established and emerging scholars, this
volume embraces a breadth and range of methodological approaches to
highlight not only developments in well-established areas of
debate, but also newly emerging areas of investigation, new
methodological approaches to the medical humanities and the value
of the humanities in medical education. Divided into five sections,
this text begins by offering an overview and analysis of the
British and North American context. It then addresses in-depth the
historical and contemporary relationship between visual art,
literature and writing, performance and music. There are three
chapters on each art form, which consider how history can
illuminate current challenges and potential future directions. Each
section contains an introductory overview, addressing broad themes
and methodological concerns; a case study of the impact of
medicine, health and well-being on an art form; and a case study of
the impact of that art form on medicine, health and wellbeing. The
underlining theme of the book is that the relationship between
medicine, health and the arts can only be understood by examining
the reciprocal relationship and processes of exchange between them.
This volume promises to be a welcome and refreshing addition to the
developing field of medical humanities. Both informative and
thought provoking, it will be important reading for students,
academics and practitioners in the medical humanities and arts in
health, as well as health professionals, and all scholars and
practitioners interested in the questions and debates surrounding
medicine, health and the arts.
