Creative arts therapies and shamanism: A comparison. Special Issue: Creative arts therapists as contemporary shamans: Reality or romance?

Journal/Book: Arts in Psychotherapy. 1988; 15: 281-284.

Abstract: Examines shamanism as a therapeutic system and the tenets of contemporary creative arts therapies (music, dance, dramas, and art) by addressing their social contexts, notions about health and illness, the role of the healer, and the nature of the intervention. The need for an independent therapy of creative arts therapies is emphasized.
