Art Therapy (Terapi Seni)

Puzzled?? Why should i post about Art Therapy today huh??? Not because i'm running out of an idea (in fact i am) but just because i finished drafting for my simulation session tomorrow just now. I will use Art Therapy technique. So here, in order to sharpen my understanding and to share about what is the hell art therapy is all about, i wanna type this post. So, according to Vondracek & Corneal (1995), art therapy can be defined as the use of art in therapeutic setting to foster an individual's psychological growth and well being. It is a nonthreatening avenue by which subconscious material may be brought into awareness and made concrete. sort of all, art therapy is a symbolic verbalization of the material of unconscious. Actually, art therapy can be best use when you handling a client with introvert personality, quite, low level of confidence and don't like to talk much. This technique is broadly implemented toward children, young teenagers and for chronic illness patients as well. In this technique, i will ask my client (actually my group member) to draw a picture about her family. Give her some time then pass it up once she's done. Next phase is to make some hypothesis according to that picture. Later on, i will ask my client to explain any elements in her drawing to test my hypothesis. By this, i can explore the client's feeling in dept. There are more phases in this technique actually but i can't do all the things in one time because i have limited time, knowledge, and skills. Hopefully i can do the best tomorrow and present it well on next Tuesday too. I'm so close to be a counselor but yet so far.
