Art Therapy

My name is Taylor Twite. The purpose of this blog is to explore the effects of art therapy and to keep track of my own thoughts and research on it.

I would like to find out how art therapy is being used. I would also like to know who an ideal candidate is for this type of rehabilitation, and how effective art therapy really is. I am at this time uncertain of what direction this research will take, but I am very interested in this up-and-coming type of therapy.

I think it is interesting that art therapy is being used to help soldiers and other military-trained people who have gone through traumatic events, because these people are trained to keep calm and not share their emotion, which is exactly what art therapy is all about. I am hoping I will be able to find further information about this and other types of art therapy.
