Arts Medicine: a workshop at California School of Professional Psychology, Alameda Campus
Arts medicine can enhance wellness through improved body image, vitality, and sense of self. It can benefit people dealing with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and AIDS, and problems such as depression, loss and aging. This workshop teaches basic arts medicine skills. It uses case histories to teach assessment and intervention approaches. Methods used include basic skills and the use of art, movement, music and ritual to promote healing. No prior experience with art and healing is necessary, just a desire to explore one’s own creativity and to incorporate it into the healing process.
“The dance is the mother of the arts.”
