• Art Therapy is a type of
psychotherapy that uses art

people explore their thoughts
and emotions in a unique way.

approach
• The idea behind this type of
therapy is to use art as a medium
major of
communication, something that
can be useful for those who have
difficulty verbalizing their
feelings.
Art therapy means therapy through art
(PHILIPPINI, 2004). It is a new professional
field, multitheoretical and
multiprofessional in nature (RUBIN ÁPUD
Theoretical CARVALHO, 1995).
approach The American Art Therapy Association of
the USA (where regulations of the
profession already exist) defines Art
Therapy as:
• “(…) a profession in the area of mental health that
uses the creative process of art to improve and
expand the emotional, mental and physical well-being
of individuals of all ages.
• It is based on the belief that the creative process
DEFINITI involved in artistic self-expression helps people
resolve conflicts and problems, develops
interpersonal skills, behavioral control, stress
ON reduction, increased self-esteem, self-awareness and
the acquisition of insights ( insights)”
• (NORTH AMERICAN ART THERAPY ASSOCIATION,
2010).
•It is a device that unites art
with psychotherapy, mainly
integrating the contributions
of psychoanalysis, humanistic
MULTI psychology and Gestalt
THEORETIC therapy (Dalley, 1987).
• In this type of therapy, the
creative process of the
individual is always prioritized
more than the aesthetic value
of the final product or work
that is arrived at.
