What is Art Psychotherapy? |
|
Art psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses pictures and images as the first and most important mode of communication between the client and the therapist.
Many children and adolescents find it difficult to describe their emotional conflicts in words. Creating their own art in the therapeutic setting helps them to communicate and understand themselves and resolve issues. The client needs no particular artistic ability or talent.
The therapist encourages the client to express their feelings through their images. By observing and discussing what the client reveals to the therapist, it helps them to explore and understand their feelings for themselves. Through the ongoing relationship the client is able to decide what changes they would like to make in their life and can achieve personal growth.
