| Summary |
Following an earlier special issue of this journal focused on music and health (Clift,2002), I welcome the opportunity to bring together a wider spectrum and commentaryand research on arts and health in this special issue and a second planned for early2006. Health educators and health promoters have long understood the value of theatreand music as media for communicating health messages, but increasingly it isrecognised that active participation in the arts has considerable potential in directlypromoting key aspects of individual health and wellbeing - enjoyment, positive socialrelationships |
