Medicine and the Arts

imageThe creation of art, whether it’s painting, poetry, music, dance, or drama, can be a valuable part of the healing process.  Through art, individuals can learn to express themselves and the painful emotions associated with illness or trauma.  The arts not only help people cope with symptoms of illness, but also with the stresses of daily life.  Above all, art is life-affirming and can be a great pleasure to those in need of joy.  To get answers to all your medicine and the arts questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites
