Sažetak
In this paper, the authors discuss the psychoanalytic foundations of art psychotherapy. Creativity originates from the unconscious and represents internal conflicts, so art can serve as a unique window into the inner world of patients and further improve the psychotherapeutic process of psychodynamically oriented therapy. Based on the own clinical example and the examples from the literature, the benefits of art therapy in the practice of child psychotherapy are presented. The aim of this paper is, through the synthesis of older and newer literature, to remind clinicians of the great practical usefulness of art therapy as psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy, which in today's time of many psychotherapeutic directions is unjustifiably positioned as an alternative psychotherapeutic option.
