The book summarises the phenomenal contribution that the arts make to the health and wellbeing of individuals and societies by sharing the cutting-edge scientific evidence. It shares how people can use the arts to support specific mental and physical health outcomes for different clinical conditions. It uncovers the major challenges being faced globally to the arts sector and artists around the world. And it has the ultimate aim of trying to achieve a step-change in how people view and value the arts – not as a luxury but as an essential.
