This is the first book that looks at intercultural dramatherapy.
Case studies and perspectives from around the globe illustrate
examples of effective collaborations between clinical creative arts
therapists and arts in health practitioners. Reaching beyond silos,
these professionals can collaborate to deliver inspirational
practice in a variety of settings. Leading experts explain how they
have pioneered arts-based practice, developed successful
partnerships and overcome difficulties in fostering relationships
to offer better support and increase access to their services by
the public. Discussions surrounding policy, funding and
international initiatives towards integration offer a timely call
to action. By working together, we reach collective goals of
positively impacting clients' mental health, wellbeing and quality
of life through the arts.
All caregivers are called upon to recognize both the pain and
beauty in this world and to help move society towards an “Ideal
City”. Beauty is the aesthetic by which healers can care for
their patients. The book proclaims three manifestos for healing:
• Healing a Violent World. Healers of every type are called on to
reduce the pain of human suffering by working towards a
non-violent, empathetic world. • Healing the Healer. Those who
give care to the suffering patient in turn suffer themselves, and
this manifesto asks that healers recognize their vulnerability, and
to engage in conversation to help them towards diminishing the pain
that they feel. • Healing Power of Justice. Justice needs to be
recognized as the pathway to healing. Justice is a powerful force
for human and social transformation and its pursuit is both intense
and often tragic. These three manifestos, together with the
sentiments of poetry that intersperses them, are published here to
awaken your sense of healing. This book is published in partnership
with the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma (HPRT) which has
pioneered the health and mental health of survivors of mass
violence and torture, refugees, and traumatized communities
worldwide over the past four decades.
