Art Therapy Model

Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to fostering self-expression, resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness and strengthen sense of self, and achieve insight.

Art therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual arts, and the creative process with models of counseling and psychotherapy.

Art therapy has provided mental health treatment for clients who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, depression, chronic illness, substance abuse, and more.

The process of art therapy also brings about the potential for clients to ‘create’, through their artwork, necessary and/or positive changes through the creative process. It also helps clients to get in touch with their own problem solving ability. The problem solving function of clients in therapy, enable clients to move towards change and take action in his/her life.

It is not necessary to have any previous experience in art making. Scribbles and marks are equally valued as complete detailed images.Art is used as non-verbal communication. Therefore, the focus is not the aesthetic value, but bringing to light unconscious material in order to explore, clarify, and bring meaning to it within a safe and supportive space.

Art therapists are professionals trained in the use of art and media, as well as psychological and counseling approaches. Art therapists are keenly aware of and trained to work with symbolism and help clients to understand their personal connection to this symbolism as it emerges in artwork. Art Therapists are practicing under ethical codes of practice. “Art Therapist’s unique skills and knowledge in the areas of nonverbal communication enable them to develop avenues for expression not possible through traditional methods” (The South Florida Art Psychotherapy Institute). Art therapists work with a range of populations including: children, adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families. Art therapists work in mental health agencies, school districts, community programs, residential treatment programs, shelters, hospitals, correctional facilities, hospices, wellness centers, and in private practice.
