Sažetak
Art has always been connected to human experience, serving as a medium for
expressing emotions, and inner conditions. In a contemporary context, art
therapy presents a specific psychotherapeutic approach that utilizes creative
processes to explore and express aspects of human health. It is especially
applicable in work with persons experiencing different psychiatric disorders.
Though it was developed from different theoretical approaches, its value was
mostly recognized within the integrated psychotherapeutic models that connect
creativity, therapeutic relation, and individual needs of patients.
This review paper aims to present the theoretical foundations, therapeutic
approaches, and clinical applications of art therapy in psychiatric settings
with an emphasis on specific methods, the role of the psychotherapist, and therapeutic effects on psychological health.
Methodologically, the work is based on a systematic review and analysis
of available scientific and professional literature in the field of psychiatry,
psychotherapy, and creative therapies. The literature was collected by systematically reviewing electronic databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect,
APA PsycInfo, Scopus, Hrčak, Google Scholar, using relevant key words.
The literature review encompasses different art therapy approaches including
psychodynamic, humanistic, psychoeducational, systemic, and integrative, and
their application with individuals diagnosed with depression, schizophrenia,
posttraumatic stress disorder, and intellectual disabilities.
