Abstract

The lasting positive impact of Art Therapy on clients is expansive and widely understood, however there has been little research done to quantify this data. The research found that the data that is available shows a significant, positive impact on clients who attend art therapy as a means of treatment for personality, mood, and psychotic disorders as well as those with disorders characterized by varying levels of cognitive deficit. This review analyzes the effects of taking part in an art therapy program on the aforementioned groups and addresses the issue of accessibility to care, weighing the ethics of experiential, self-directed art therapy.
