Art therapy is an integrative and humanistically oriented therapy based on scientific principles. It is conducted by trained art therapists who support clients through visual arts, incorporating elements of music, dance, and drama to facilitate communication and expression. Art therapy supports clients of all ages and life situations, empowering them through the art therapy process to better cope with life’s challenges.
Globally, art therapy is practiced as a mental health profession in the following forms: as art psychotherapy or as art therapy (counseling), depending on the type of education the therapist has completed.
The European Federation of Art Therapists (EFAT) defines Art Therapy as: "a mental health profession that also has application in social, educational and medical fields. Art therapists enlist the creative process of art making to enhance the mind/body connection, foster personal development and improve psychological, and/or affective, cognitive and relational well-being of individuals, groups and families of all ages and backgrounds. Art therapy is based on the premise that the creative process generated in artistic self-expression, when practiced by a professionally trained art therapist, fosters the growth and development of the agentic sense of self. This art-making process involves personal exploration with visual/tactile art materials (drawing, painting, sculpture, and other expressive art forms, etc.) where imagery may or may not result.".
The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) defines Art Therapy as: "a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship".
Art terapijski procesi puštaju u aktivni odnos imaginaciju i komunikaciju slikom. Aktivno stvaranje slike, bivanje u slici (u smislu utjelovljene ili dijagramske slike) i prema slici (u smislu transfera i kontratransfera) luči ideje, uvide, poveznice različitih polja osobe koja kreativnošću izražava sebe, eksternalizira se kroz likovni materijal u vanjski svijet. Pritom ideja kao „unutrašnja slika s čijom pomoću nas viša sila podiže na svoju razinu” (Hamvas, 1995), dotiče i dubine, i visine koje su rijetko dostupne u dinamici svakodnevnog života.
Ideja je da možemo zamisliti budućnost čak i u najmračnijoj noći duše i da ovu sliku možemo upogoniti u smjeru cilja.Zaista, art terapijske strategije suočavanja sa stresom osnažuju, osiguravaju (samo- i među-)razumijevanje I nalaženja smisla. Međutim, još dragocjenije, art terapija nudi istraživanje podsvjesnog te slikama osviještenog autentičnog unutrašnjeg svijeta osobe koji joj omogućuje ne samo nositi se sa svijetom oko sebe već i poduzeti aktivnu ulogu u njemu.
Uključivanjem u život i poduzimanjem mijenjamo i instinktivne reakcije traume koja nas ostavlja imobiliziranima ili hiperaktiviranim, ali u svakom slučaju izoliranima od okoline, bila ona dobronamjerna ili suprotno.
Kako onda možemo ponovo povezati fragmentiranu stvarnost u onu smislenu i kako se osoba fragmentiranog selfa slaže u društvo? Čitajte nas i saznajte.
