What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the visual arts as a means of expression and communication to promote mental health and emotional and social well-being.
It is based on the artistic process and the therapeutic relationship, using art as a pathway for exploration and change. It does not require prior artistic knowledge and is not a recreational activity, but a psychotherapeutic practice with a well-established professional trajectory at an international level.
In art therapy, art is not used as a diagnostic tool, but as a means to address emotional difficulties, behavioral disorders, physical or mental disabilities, neurological disorders, or physical illnesses.
