A groundbreaking new book in the burgeoning international field of arts and health has garnered support from two respected leaders in the Canadian publishing industry. The book, currently in process, is titled “Creative Arts in Humane Medicine” and will be released in 2013. This is the third academic text book to be edited by The International Journal of The Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice IJCAIP Publisher and Executive Editor, Cheryl L. McLean.

“Creative Arts in Humane Medicine” will be published by Brush Education Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta, operated by partners Glenn Rollans and Fraser Seely. Rollans previously acted as Director of The University of Alberta Press and was past General Manager at Thomson Duval and Seely is the former CEO of Broadview Press. Publishers expect the book, which will be available in both hard copy and ebook formats, will be a valuable study resource in medical education. 

After the successful release of two books in the CAIP Research Series featuring the creative arts and research, "Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice", and "Creative Arts in Research for Community and Cultural Change" published by Detselig Temeron Press, Editor, McLean sees the new book serving a critical need bringing arts approaches to medical education.

“The arts are alive and thriving in medical education today with the world’s leading medical schools offering progressive programming at the intersections between the arts and health. “Creative Arts in Humane Medicine” will serve a critical need for resources and feature methods that value humanism and qualities of human caring such communication, mutual respect, empathic practices and emotional and patient centered connections between physicians and other healthcare providers and their patients while fostering arts influenced approaches that can open the way for humane medicine in education and practice.”
