Creativity is popularly related to innovation and new ideas. This invention-cognition view of creativity is too narrow a concept for artistic creativity. Artistic creation is also about reproducing traditions and emotional ("affective") processes. Widespread use of the popular invention-cognition view of creativity in arts advocacy obscures wider dimensions of artistic creativity. This article focuses attention on the affective dimension of artistic creation. It surveys "arts therapy" literature and investigates how lessons of this literature can be used to improve the persuasiveness of arts advocacy arguments that appeal to the concept of creativity.

“…As a group-based intervention, participation in drumming can also provide participants with a sense of group identity and group cohesion (Longhofer and Floersch, 1993) positive socialisation (Kalani, 2005) and experiences of accomplishment (Longhofer and Floersch, 1993). Group drumming can also offer children a safe and supportive environment for the development of emotional and social competencies, such as listening, problem solving, sharing and acceptance of diversity (Kalani, 2005).…”

“To the beat of a different drum”: improving the social and mental wellbeing of at‐risk young people through drumming

Purpose-There is growing interest in the use of music and other arts mediums as a way of addressing mental health and social wellbeing issues in a non-clinical or therapy setting. This can be particularly apt for more at-risk young people who may not engage readily with other approaches. Published evaluation of such interventions is however sparse. This paper aims to describe an evaluation of the DRUMBEAT program which uses drumming as a way to engage at-risk youth, whilst simultaneously incorporating themes relating to mental wellbeing and healthy relationships. Design/methodology/approach-An evaluation was undertaken in 19 schools participating in the tenweek DRUMBEAT program. Pre, interim and post-program surveys were administered to participating students (n ¼ 180). School-based data on student behaviour and teacher feedback was also collected. Findings-Positive changes were observed on several measures, including a 10 per cent increase in selfesteem scores by program completion. School data showed a decrease in reported behaviour incidents for 29 per cent of participants. Overall, the evaluation indicated that the DRUMBEAT program provides a creative medium for working with at-risk young people and helps develop self-esteem and social relationship skills. Originality/value-There is a paucity of published evaluations of interventions of this kind. Also novel is the delivery of the program in a school-based rather than clinical therapy setting. The paper also demonstrates how a "real world" intervention program can go beyond basic process evaluation to collect outcome data that helps build the evidence base for mental health promotion.

There are commonalities between neurologic syndromes arising from lesions of the parietal cortex and psychiatric syndromes secondary to psychological trauma. Additionally some posttraumatic syndromes may refl ect functional disruption of parietal areas. Directional or bilateral alternating peripheral sensory stimulation appear to assist in the amelioration of a wide range of clinical conditions, including the neglect syndrome and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. It is posited that the stimulation may exert its effect through activation of parietal higher-order functions. The activation may result in an integration of sensory information and an updating of the current representation of person and space, which incorporates an awareness of current body reality, sense of self, and world view. It is hypothesized that the EMDR procedure is ideally constructed to facilitate parietal activation through multimodal sensory stimulation, attention and episodic memory retrieval and focus on internal and external body, space, and self. Further investigations and an integration of data between disciplines are suggested, in order to expand our range of effective treatments.
