What is Art Therapy? 何謂藝術治療?

  • ​藝術治療是非語言的心理治療，以藝術創作過程為溝通工具。

  • 藝術治療是利用藝術作為溝通工具，並透過與治療師的治療關係，當事人的情緒、人際關係及個人成長的各種需要得到關注，從而達致持久性改變。

  • 在藝術治療師的陪伴下，當事人透過創作（繪畫、素描、模型等 視覺圖像），反映了潛藏的內心思緒、感情，從而把無形的情緒具體化地表現在作品中，得以觀察，反思及討論。

  • 透過創造的過程，亦能為當事人帶出“創造”必須及/或積極改變的潛能；它也能讓當事人接觸其本身具備的解決困難的能力”(香港藝術治療師協會)。

  • ​Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy

  • We use both art-making and talking.

  • It is a place to talk about your life, thoughts, feelings and anything that is worrying you.

  • Art as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing.

  • You do not need to be good at art to come to Art Therapy.

  • Therapist will talk with you about the artwork to try and have a better understanding of how you feel.

治療取向Methodology​

受到心理分析的啟發，藝術心理治療師會以心理動力學理論作為基礎，配以不同的心理治療技巧應用於個案中，配合個案的不同需而運用對個案最有效益的心理療法。例如改善依付關係，認知分析療法，心理教育等技巧。​
 

Although influenced by psychoanalysis, art therapists have been inspired by theories such as attachment-based psychotherapy and have developed a broad range of client-centred approaches such as psycho-educational, mindfulness and mentalization-based treatments, compassion-focussed and cognitive analytic therapies, and socially engaged practice.
