Explore Session on Humanities at the 2025 Annual Meeting
Artistic media such as music, paintings, literature, poems, and theatre are often moving sources of emotional expression, both for the artist as well as their audience.
The field of Medical Humanities is considered an important complement to psychiatry's basic sciences and clinical mission, drawing on the creative and intellectual strengths of disciplines in the arts, social sciences, and the humanities to explore experiences of health and illness.
