Omschrijving
This important book develops a critical understanding of the bridging of arts and health domains, drawing on models and perspectives from social sciences to develop the case for arts and health as a social movement. This interdisciplinary perspective offers a new research agenda that can help to inform future developments and sustainability.
Professor Norma Daykin is one of our most experienced and respected arts and health academics and her work is highly valued by everyone involved in this burgeoning area of practice, research and policy. The book is characterised by great clarity of thought and a deep understanding of the history of the field. It is particularly timely that Norma offers a new lens on our work with her focus on social movement theory as we build on the current momentum in the UK and internationally
Alex Coulter, director of Arts & Health South West (AHSW)
Norma Daykin provides an engaging, concise and critical introduction to the growing field of arts and health. It offers the reader insights into the various ways in which the creative arts contribute to health care but also offers a challenge to traditional biomedical perspectives on health and illness.
