About Art Psychotherapy

What is Art Therapy? by BAAT

What is Art Therapy? by ANZACATA

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression and communication.

Within this context, art is not used as diagnostic tool but as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing.

Art therapists work with children, young people, adults and the elderly.

Clients may have a wide range of difficulties, disabilities or diagnoses.

These include emotional, behavioural or mental health problems, learning or physical disabilities, life-limiting conditions, neurological conditions and physical illnesses.

Art therapy is provided in groups or individually, depending on clients' needs.

It is not a recreational activity or an art lesson, although the sessions can be enjoyable.

Clients do not need to have any previous experience or expertise in art.

Although influenced by psychoanalysis, art therapists have been inspired by theories such as attachment-based psychotherapy and have developed a broad range of client-centred approaches such as psycho-educational, mindfulness and mentalization-based treatments, compassion-focussed and cognitive analytic therapies, and socially engaged practice.

Exploring the links between neuro-science and art therapy has also been at the forefront of some of the BAAT's conferences.

Importantly, art therapy practice has evolved to reflect the cultural and social diversity of the people who engage in it.
