Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative processes, such as painting, drawing, or sculpting, to help individuals express emotions, explore experiences, and develop self-awareness in a nonverbal way.
Key Points:
- Populations Served: Beneficial for children, trauma survivors, individuals with developmental disabilities, and many others.
- Mechanism: Engaging in art can bypass verbal barriers and tap into deeper, sometimes unconscious, feelings.
- Professional Requirement: Typically facilitated by a trained art therapist who can guide the creative process and interpret themes.
