Mental Health addresses the holistic concerns of human beings. Scientific discoveries in medicine and brain functioning have advanced our modern treatment of illness. A more recent focus goes beyond the scientific to encompass the humanistic and artistic perceptions of ourselves. This conference brings together artists, scientists, and therapists who have attempted to express the creative process as the foundation of a healthy mind.
Intended Audience: Artists, Art Historians, Scientists, Mental Health Professionals, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Family Doctors, Students and the General Public
Learning Objective: To present creative thinking and performance that deepens our understanding of human concerns and behavior.
