For more than 50
years, art
therapy has been
in existence in
the United
States and
Europe. What
about in Asia?
Although there
has been an
emergence of a
movement to
practice art
therapy in Asia,
art therapy is
not yet fully
established and
recognized. For
example, in
Japan, there is
currently no
graduate schools
which offer a
master’s degree
in art therapy,
while graduate
schools in the
United States
have extensive
art therapy
programs. (In
New York City,
there are 3
graduate schools
which have art
therapy
departments.)
In this
presentation,
meanings of art
therapy,
especially its
effectiveness,
will be
discussed; along
with the visual
presentations of
art works by art
therapy clients.
The relationship
between art
therapy and the
Chinese view of
health will be
also discussed.
