PUBLICATION. John Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd. A new book for professionals in health, arts and education. Target audience: people working in the areas of health, the arts and education; adults. This book is about redefining the health values of creativity. Schmid evidences that creativity is more than the capacity to be inventive or innovative. It derives from biological changes during human evolution as a tool that is needed for survival. Everybody has the capacity, and its successful use generates feelings of pleasure and self-esteem that are beneficial to health. Denial of creativity is a serious issue and is imbedded in modern values. Schmid expresses her views about important strategies for the future that will require acceptance by health, arts and education professionals that everyday creativity is a resource of high value for health. by Therese Schmid A$55.95 (PB), ISBN: 1-8615-6478-3.
