History and Development of Art Therapy
Over the history of psychology, many practitioners have been drawn to the use of artistic expression while working with clients. This practice dates to 1912. German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin and Karl Jaspers notice drawings by the patients could be beneficial in understanding psychopathology. Freud and Jung both had theories that state art expression plays a vital role in psychiatric evaluation and treatment. Freud believed in an unconscious mind, while Jung believed in universal archetypes. Jung explored his psyche, along with his patients through art expressions (Malchiodi, 2007, p.16).
Art therapy has only existed since the mid-20th century. It is based on a variety of artistic forms. This kind of treatment sees the person as a creative being. This therapy allows the client to be the artist of their own story (Reis, 2014). British artist Adrian Hill knew how important it was for one to be their artist. While working with a tuberculosis patient, this idea became very relevant. Margaret Naumburg is recognized as one of the earliest practitioners to define art therapy and its form. She proposed that images were a form of symbolic speech (Malchiodi, 2007, p.17).
Donald Winnicott, a child psychiatrist, saw the value of this therapy. He believed art to be a transitional object. Winnicott knew this therapy to reflect one's thoughts and feelings. Using this type of reflection, you would be able to define the conflicts as well. Many have gone on to specialize in this field. Art therapy has specialized education and standards of practice. Counselors and social workers working with children find this treatment engaging. Experimental activities provide children a way of expressing their emotions (Malchiodi, 2007, p.17).
Some see art therapy as a hybrid that forms from both art and psychology. The formations of these two fields generated two different theories on why art therapy is useful. The first sees art expression as a form of visual language that creates an outlet for people to express feelings in which they would not usually be able to put into words. The second theory claims that this type of expression can be a way to communicate a problematic past. Many victims of sexual, verbal, or physical abuse find emotional relief (Malchiodi, 2007, p.18).
Many mental and medical settings have influenced art therapy as a form of intervention. Art therapy was used primarily before in psychiatric and day treatment facilities to help better communicate with those who have a mental illness. However, art therapy has evolved and has been multiplying. This therapy is known as a vital tool to help treat those suffering from substance abuse, trauma, eating, and behavioral disorders. With new preventative health programs emerging art therapy has become a more.
To a person looking from outside in, self-portraiture in therapy could appear to reinforce egotism and narcissism. This is especially true in an age when appearance is deemed to be so important.
But Aristotle said, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”

It's best to avoid anxiety, or is it? In this presentation, originally given in September 2010 at the Vingsted conference centre in Denmark, Professor Emmy van Deurzen, from the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, draws on a philosophical tradition and her own experience as a psychotherapist, to show when anxiety can be a guide to what needs to be fixed in one's life to reach greater wellbeing.

2. Art Therapy: definition and background Art Therapy: Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight (taken from the American Art Therapy Association, www.arttherapy.org).
3. Background of Art Therapy Freud and Jung: Personality Theories Freud on dreams: “We experience it [a dream] predominantly in visual images; feelings may be present too, and thoughts interwoven as well; the other senses may also experience something, but nonetheless it is predominantly a question of images. “ “‘I could draw it,’ a dreamer often says to us, ‘but I don’t know how to say it.’” Jung: The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is 'man' in a higher sense - he is 'collective man,' a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind. (Carl Jung, Psychology and Literature, 1930)
4. Background of Art Therapy cont. Margaret Naumberg: Art Psychotherapy Spontaneous creation of images can tap into the unconscious mind Scribble drawing Edith Kramer: Art as Therapy On her work with children of refugees from Nazi Germany, “I first observed the different responses to stress as they manifested themselves in children’s art, responses that would later become so very familiar to me. I saw regression; repetition that told of unresolved conflict; I first observed identification with the aggressor in children who identified with Hitler, who had proved his power by the very damage done to them; I saw withdrawal into frozen rigidity, and finally, the capacity for creative expression surviving under difficulties.”
5. Background of Art Therapy cont. Georgia O'Keeffe: I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. Thomas Merton: Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. Amy Lowell: Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in. Pablo Picasso: Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
