The Art and Science of Compassion, a Primer
Author: Agnes M. F. Wong
Publisher:
ISBN: 0197551386
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
"The Art And Science Of Compassion. A Primer is designed as a short, "all-in-one", introductory text that covers the full gamut of compassion, from the evolutional, biological, behavioural, and psychological, to the social, philosophical, and spiritual. Written with busy trainees, clinicians, and educators in mind, it aims to address the following questions: What is compassion? Is it innate or a trainable skill? What do different scientific disciplines, including neuroscience, tell us about compassion? Why is "compassion fatigue" a misnomer? What are the obstacles to compassion? Why are burnout, moral suffering, and bullying so rampant in healthcare? And finally, what does it take to cultivate compassion? Drawing on her diverse background as a clinician, scientist, educator, and chaplain, Dr. Wong presents a wealth of scientific evidence supporting that compassion is both innate and trainable. By interleaving personal experiences and reflections, she shares her insights on what it takes to cultivate compassion to support the art of medicine and caregiving. The training described draws on both contemplative and scientific disciplines to help clinicians develop cognitive, attentional, affective, and somatic skills that are critical for the cultivation of compassion. Compassion not only benefits the recipients, produces better patient care, and improves the healthcare system, it is also a boundless source of energy, resilience, and wellness for the givers. With striking illustrations for key concepts and a concise summary for each chapter, this book provides a solid conceptual framework and practical approaches to cultivate compassion. It serves to complement the experiential component of compassion that the readers are strongly encouraged to develop and practise in their daily lives"--

Brave Art and Teens
Author: Jodi A. Patterson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781456493240
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This book is for anybody considering a career as a secondary art teacher. It provides basic information about what the job of an art teacher is and who the art students are. Then it presents ways to help make a studio-based art class relevant to teens, providing the future teacher with some tools to help encourage an atmosphere conducive to making "brave" art.The ability to learn from art (and thus each other) in safe and caring classroom atmospheres is the core of a brave art paradigm. This method of instruction (and learning) is based on a trust in art and humanness, which begins with the teacher/leader and eventually filters into the students. Under this philosophy brave art for teens is not about making art objects. It is about finding life-meaning via reflecting upon the art-making process.
