Art Therapy

Pt’s Name: Linda V.

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 develops interpersonal skills, manage
behavior, reduce stress, increase self-awareness and achieve insight.

The activity mainly aims to enhance the psychological and

emotional well-being of psychiatric patients. This is designed to
establish a channel in expression of feelings through the use of artistic
abilities particularly drawing.
