Enter arts education and the healing arts as urgently needed remedies for this imbalance, to swing the pendulum of educational practices back to a place of balance and wholeness. Informed by an arts-based sensibility, this book explores how imaginative, creative and artistic experiences can heal, and why we urgently need them at the heart of our educational discourses and practices."--Back cover.}, recid = {1378164}, pages = {1 online resource (xx, 147 pages)}, }
