Art Therapy definitions! ⬇️
The British Association of Art Therapists defines art therapy as a form of psychotherapy that uses art as its primary means of expression and communication 🎨 It is not about diagnosis, but about addressing emotional experiences through the creative process.
Meanwhile, the American Art Therapy Association describes art therapy as a mental health profession in which, guided by an art therapist, people use art-making, the creative process, and the artwork itself to explore emotions, resolve inner conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behaviors and addictions, develop social skills, reduce anxiety, and enhance self-esteem.
