What are the advantages of Art Therapy?
Through observation and analysis of art making behaviors, art products, and verbal associations, the art therapist formulates diagnostic assessments and treatment plans. Art therapists can provide case management services. Treatment may focus on growth experiences, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, remediation, adaptation and/or personality enhancement. Art therapists respond to the strengths and needs of clients by integrating personal training in art and therapy with knowledge of theories of normal and abnormal behavior and development, visual symbolic expression and intervention methods.
