Expressive therapy

Expressive therapy, also known as the expressive therapies, expressive arts therapy or creative arts therapy, is the use of the creative arts as a form of therapy. Unlike traditional art expression, the process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product. Expressive therapy is predicated on the assumption that people can heal through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression.

Types

Expressive therapy is an umbrella term. Some common types of expressive therapy include:

  • expressive arts therapy (in conjunction with one another, a truer understanding of healing comes into play between the use of various media to look at a situation or feeling)
  • art therapy
  • dance therapy, also known as dance/movement therapy
  • drama therapy
  • psychodrama an elaborate study of role play created and fostered by J.L. and Zerka Moreno
  • music therapy
  • writing therapy, a term which may encompass journaling, poetry therapy, and bibliotherapy
  • Film/video-based therapy


    • Horticultural therapy is often not listed with other expressive therapies; it is not universally considered a form of expressive therapy or creative arts therapy.
