Drawing in Health and Wellbeing
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-35985-7 (ISBN)
Drawing has significant benefits for health, yet it is only recently that drawing for health and wellbeing has become a focus for formal research investigation and development. Chapters critically examine how drawing helps us convey and understand complex illness experiences, supporting a deeper, more holistic form of communication between patient and professional. The authors also explore drawing as a popular mindful and meditative activity. Underlying all the chapters is the principle that manual drawing, such as sketching, diagrams, cartoons and many other forms of mark-making, has important qualities in enabling people to learn, investigate, explain, and express as well as alleviate suffering.
With renewed global interest in improving our health, this timely volume brings together prominent research in the field and highlights an array of drawing approaches to promote wellbeing.
