题目内容:
An unconventional new initiative(首创)in Canada will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their patients—by giving them free access to a local museum.Wandering through the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA),these patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on the peaceful collections of art.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the world.And while you certainly can’t replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings,the idea is for such“prescriptions”to assist a person’s current treatment plan.Under the new program,members of the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada(MFDC)will be able to hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their patients.
These prescriptions will be available for those with a wide range of mental and physical illnesses,and each of them will allow two adults and two children to visit the museum for free.
“By offering free admission to a safe,welcoming place,a relaxing experience,a moment of relief,and an opportunity to strengthen ties with loved ones,MMFA—MFDC Museum Prescriptions contribute to the patient’s well-being and recovery,”explains a news conference from the MMFA.
It may look a lot like a marketing effort for the museum but there’s also increasing evidence that the display of visual art,especially if it’s showing nature,can have positive effects on health outcomes.
In some ways,the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity.A systematic review of clinical art therapy(疗法) found that visual art has significant and positive effects on depression,anxiety,mood,and self-esteem.Findings like these are slowly gaining attraction in the medical community,making artwork a higher priority(优先)in hospitals around the world.
In the US,nearly half of all health care institutions have reported including art in health care programming,such as art therapy and the placement of visual art in hospitals.With spaces dedicated(专用的)to art therapy and also a medical consultation room,the MMFA already provides services for people with mental health issues,eating disorders,and Alzheimer’s disease,just to name a few.
