Humanities in medicine: Beyond the millennium

This book explores the place of the arts in therapy both in the community and in the health care environment.

The conference brought together people from different backgrounds and practitioners from many of the health professions, the arts, philosophy and theology to explore the three themes of the conference. Foundations were laid for a strategy to promote the arts into a pivotal role across the spectrum of Britain's healthcare and public health systems, to complement the scientific and technological models of diagnosis and treatment that have driven medical policies and practice for much of the 19th Century.
