Bringing together diverse drawing approaches in the form of research and practical projects, this book demonstrates how drawing has extended beyond the realm of medicine with relevance and value for a wide spectrum of health and wellbeing settings. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCurie Scott\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent education consultant specializing in arts and health, based in the UK.
