Art therapy

Art therapy does not focus on the images around you, but looks for images coming from the inside. In other words, as Malchiodi writes: “Art therapy asks you to study your inner experience, your feelings, perception and imagination. While art therapy may also include training in visual arts skills and artistic techniques, the emphasis, as a rule, is primarily on the expression of images that come from within the person, and not those that he or she sees in the outside world “.

Group-format art therapy helps:

• Develop social and communication skills;
• Solve common problems and support others;
• Observe the results of their actions and their impact on others;
• Master new roles and show hidden personality traits, observe how changes in behavior affect changes in relationships with others;
• Stimulate imagination, develop artistic abilities and increase self-esteem;
• Resolve conflicts and build relationships between group members;
• Develop decision making skills.
