"This book is filled with research, narratives and ideas for the student, scholar, community art-maker and anyone interested in using the arts to connect with and engage the marginalized in our communities. In Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change, editor Cheryl McLean enlists a talented and passionate group of researchers and practitioners to share their experiences using various art forms to change lives....McLean skillfully weaves a tapestry of empathic and innovative practices that provide a series of effective real-world strategies for engaging marginalized populations who are facing daunting social issues. Empathy is clearly the thread running through the text which connects the stories and experiences of the practitioners, patients and researchers described in these pages. "
