Therapeutic Interventions for Healing

Course Description

The therapeutic interventions of music, art, dance, humor, and animal-assisted therapy can be integrated into mainstream medicine and should be considered as complements, not replacements for, mainstream medical treatments. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is evaluating these therapeutic interventions and research is demonstrating that they are not only safe but effective as well. This course provides an overview of these mind-body-spirit healing interventions and discusses their therapeutic uses and benefits.

Course Purpose

The goal of this course is to provide an overview of several mind-body-spirit healing interventions (music, art, dance, humor, and animal-assisted therapy) and to discuss their therapeutic uses and benefits.
