Senior Lecturer

Dr. Johanna Czamanski-Cohen is the Head of the Laboratory for the Psychosomatic study of Art Therapy, Emili Sagol Creative Arts Therapies Research Center and a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences at University of Haifa. Her research interests are in examining the mechanisms of art based and verbal interventions for psychological and physical symptom reduction in cancer patients. This focus is part of an over-arching goal of increasing the understanding of the mechanisms through which art therapy has a salutogenic affect. Her overall aim is to apply a translational approach to psychological (depression) and physical (pain and fatigue) symptom reduction in individuals coping with chronic illness, in general, and cancer patients, more specifically.
