What is Art Group therapy?

Art Group Therapy je typ terapie, která používá umělecké vyjádření k zajištění mentálního míru nebo jasnosti. Therapy of this type usually occurs as part of the treatment program rather than in isolation, but some people visit therapeutic sessions of the art group without any other type of therapy. Unlike other group art courses, the focus in the therapy of the art group never carries the quality of the finished work from a critical point of view, but rather on the internal processes that resulted in a specific piece. V tomto typu terapie je zdůrazněno vnitřní zaměření, což vede k osobní spokojenosti nebo úlevě od určitých duševních poruch. V některých třídách arteterapie se zaměřuje na pozornost na tyto vnitřní stavy a na to, jak je proces umění terapeutický. Other classes focus on the interpretation of the finished product and how it ends the internal conditions and the patient's history.
