Art therapy as treatment for adult sufferers of depression.
ATS1262 - Understanding Social Behaviour
6 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year: Pre-2021
With 40% of all women and 20% of all men in the entire population needing treatment at least once in their lifetime, depression is quickly becoming one of the most common universal disorders (Åsberg et al., 2004,) with the World Health Organisation labelling depression as the second most disabling illness in the world in 2010. Depression can be described as a profound experience of alienation from oneself and others (Stigsdotter Nyström & Nyström, 2007.) Art therapy is one such alternative treatment which recognises the value of creativity and non-verbal communication, although verbal communication is also used; and provides tools for self-exploration with increasing self-awareness of what affects the individual and response patterns occurring in everyday life (Blomdahl, Gunnarsson, Guregård, Björklund, 2013.)
