Expressive Therapy: Art

Art helps people to express themselves and with conflicts that might be weighing on their minds. Drawing, painting, and sculpting help many people by allowing them to release their emotions and achieve personal growth. Some professionals are also able to diagnose their patients through their art by the interpretation of their artistic works. Depression, abuse-related trauma, and schizophrenia have been observed to manifest themselves in creative pieces. Art therapy is not unusual; most health centers have at least one professional who has received specialized training and certification in art therapy.
