'Medicine and psychiatry, both based on science, require the art of
caring, using the principles of art in learning and teaching.
Sitting with a patient, making sense of their distress, being
empathetic in understanding both the symptoms and the person and
alleviating suffering needs a human touch. For that, doctors need
the soul of an artist and must be aware of the value that arts have
for society and the individual.' - from the Foreword by Dinesh
Bhugra This comprehensive book explores how visual art, cinema,
music, poetry, literature and drama can inform the teaching and
practice of psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Edited
and written by a team of expert practitioners, teachers and
researchers, including both clinicians and users of mental health
services, this comprehensive book will provide valuable insights
for undergraduate and postgraduate educators with teaching
reponsibilities in psychiatry and mental health. Students of the
medical humanities, art, music and drama therapists, and educators
in occupational therapy and psychology will also find this a
valuable and insightful handbook. 'The authors of this wonderful
handbook provide a convincing argument that the arts are good for
what ails us. They have each used a preferred artistic medium to
deepen personal reflection and to enhance their own creativity as
physicians , teachers and therapists. Their models are clear, their
suggestions practical, but none of the approaches you'll find here
is reductive or simplistic. Try some of the reflective exercises
and teaching strategies. You will be sure to rediscover something
you have always cherished about the art of healing.' - from the
Foreword by Allan D Peterkin
