Are arts in health a means of treating people …or a way of helping them view the world?
- Making ‘new traditions’-an alignment between the social determinants of health
and the cultural imperative to make art?
Autonomy and full social participation are so important for health that their lack leads to deterioration in health.Michael Marmot Status Syndrome 2004
Factors which make for health are concerned with a sense of personal and social identity, human worth, communication, participation in the making of political decisions, celebration and responsibility. The language of science alone is insufficient to describe health: the languages of story, myth and poetry also disclose its truth.
Michael Wilson Health Is For People. 1975
