PSYCHOTHERAPY

What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a type of therapeutic technique rooted in the idea that


creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. It may
surprise you to learn that art can be an effective tool in mental
health treatment. What could art possibly have to do with
psychotherapy? As an expressive medium, art can be used to help
clients communicate, overcome stress, and explore different aspects of
their own personalities. In psychology, the use of artistic methods to
treat psychological disorders and enhance mental health is known as
art therapy.
Art therapy integrates psychotherapeutic techniques with the creative
process to improve mental health and well-being. The American Art
Therapy Association describes art therapy as "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 resolve conflicts
and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce
stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.

Purpose of Art Therapy:


Art therapy can be used as a complement to traditional mental health
treatment. The aim is to manage behaviors, process feelings, reduce
stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem.
 Self-discovery: Creating art can help you acknowledge and
recognize feelings that have been lurking in your subconscious.
 Self-esteem: The process will give you a feeling of self-
accomplishment which can be very valuable to improve your self-
appreciation and confidence.
 Emotional release: The greatest benefit of art therapy is giving
you a healthy outlet for expressing and letting go all your
feelings and fears. Complex emotions such as sadness or anger
sometimes cannot be expressed with words. When you are unable to
express yourself, but you desire emotional release, making art
may help you to do it.

 Stress relief: Fighting anxiety, depression or emotional trauma


can be very stressful for you both mentally and physically.
Creating art can be used to relieve stress and relax your mind
and body.
What are the materials needed?
Materials
•  Bond paper
• Coloring material (crayons)

Steps:
1. Relax. Before you start the exercise, it can be helpful to relax
for a few minutes by listening to calming music, meditating, or doing
yoga. You will feel more comfortable and at ease while you are working
on the project.
 
2. Hand them a large sheet of paper and something to color with. Also,
find colored pencils, crayons, markers, or chalk pastels that you can
use to color on the paper.
 
3. Let them choose one of the colors and place the tip of the crayon,
marker, or pencil in the middle of the paper.

4. Open your eyes and examine your picture.


 If you're worried you aren't creative or artistic enough for art
therapy, this can be a good place to start. People are usually
comfortable scribbling because we all did it as children.
 
5. When you open your eyes, closely look at your picture.
 Taping it to a wall or hanging it on the fridge and considering
it at a distance will give you a better perspective.
 Also, consider it from different angles.
 This is all about you, so don't criticize your art form. After
all, you are drawing with your eyes closed

Guidelines in Art Therapy:


This art therapy aims to help patients deal with pressure, confusing
emotions, conflicts, etc. By empowering them with a deeper
understanding of themselves and an improved self-esteem.

and overall well-being.1 It’s a goal-oriented intervention that may
involve:

 Making music

This form of treatment may be helpful for people with depression and
anxiety, and it may help improve the quality of life for people with
physical health problems.2 Anyone can engage in music therapy; you
don’t need a background in music to experience its beneficial effects.

Purpose of Music Therapy:


Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in six areas:
psychological, emotional, physical, spiritual, cognitive and social.

be released.

 Improved mood.
 Decreased depression.
 Anxiety reduction.
 Self-expression.
 Stress management.

Physical:
 Music can affect the body by changing your heart rate and
lowering blood pressure and respiration (breathing) rate.
 Improved motor development or processing.
 Relaxation and/or improved sleep.
 It can physically stimulate conscious or unconscious body
movements, such as toe tapping or large body movements, and
improved gait (walking) and speech.

profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through


occupation. The primary goal of OT is to enable people to participate
in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve
this goal by working with people and communities to enhance their
ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are
expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to
better support their occupational engagement. OT has been used along
with other medical treatments in treating patients with psychiatric
and cognitive disorders and proven to be useful and effective in
managing symptom and enhancing and/or maintaining functional
performance for persons with mental health problems.

Purpose of Occupational Therapy:


Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants are
educated to provide services that support mental and physical health
and wellness, rehabilitation, habilitation, and recovery-oriented
approaches. Such education includes at least one clinical fieldwork
experience in a setting focused on psychosocial issues.

Materials needed:
 Games
 Toys
 Activities
 Educational Hand-outs
 Intervention strategies
 Exercises
 Worksheets
