Art Therapy is explained and then a number of mental illnesses are explored:
-
Eating disorder
-
Paranoia
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Bipolar Affective Disorder
-
PTSD
-
OCD
(Note: this course should not be seen as ‘treatment’ rather ‘exploration of the possible impact of Art Therapy’. Always consult a medical professional.)
We look at how Art Therapy can be of help to those who have been diagnosed as suffering from such illnesses. But remember: Art Therapy (especially on an online course) is not a diagnostic tool. It is used to explore causes and reduce symptoms.
Ideally such therapeutic activities are carried out by a qualified, experience Art Therapist.
Throughout the course the emphasis is on WORK (this is a course, after all) and DISCUSSION – and having some fun along the way!
Please note also that lectures are added to the course on a fairly regular basis – so make sure you keep checking on your own progress (you have Lifetime Access) but also the resources available. Do not RUSH the course. Ideally you would watch a lecture, try the art therapy exercise, consider your thoughts during the process and then post in the Q/A. Reflective questions are often supplied with the exercise.
Also make sure you often check the Educational Announcements.
Note: A new section was added in December 2022 explaining what could be done with the course + your own Art work + the comments of others + reflections.
