What is the difference between art therapy, dance/movement therapy & expressive arts therapy?
Each single-arts approach to therapy (art, music, dance…) utilizes its own modality in healing environments. Expressive Arts Therapy is, by nature, multi-modal and nurtures the blending and integrating of the arts modalities. Believing that expression, in and of itself, is healing, the Expressive Arts Therapist calls upon her/his own creativity and training in the different arts approaches to determine which modality or combination of modalities is needed in any given moment in time.
