Introduction to Art Therapy

Throughout human history, art has been more than a means of aesthetic expression — it has been a powerful way of making meaning, of healing, and of coming into contact with the self.

Art therapy begins exactly here: a psychotherapeutic approach that uses art as a tool, helping a person make safe and transformative contact with their inner world.

"Where words fall short, a line, a colour or a form can begin to speak."

This course sets out — from a holistic perspective — how art therapy works, who it helps and where it is effective, and what the therapist's role is in practice.
