Emphasising that the arts are good for one's health, is as imprecise as stating medicine has health benefits. By using generic terms, we risk comparing apples with oranges. Pleased to share this piece co-written with Anita Jensen and Hilary Bungay doi.org/10.3389/fpub...

Busy writing the Introduction and Contents page for the Routledge Handbook of Arts and Health - it is really coming together - still a lot of organising to do in the final weeks, but I'm very grateful for everyone's contributions and expertise as I begin summarising it all.
Funny that this is my highest scoring article and 11th top scoring in the journal Art Therapy. I think it's because colouring is so accessible and so shared as a stress reduction technique. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... routledge.altmetric.com/details/6528...
We have a systematic review of arts on prescription published: The impact of arts on prescription on individual health and wellbeing: a systematic review with meta-analysis - www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...
