what is art therapy?Is it a good idea to become an art therapist?

Answer 1

Here is a statement from the American Art Therapy Association: "Art therapy is an established mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight."

If you have an artistic bent and you also want to help others, it could be a very good career for you. For information about educational requirements and a whole lot more about art therapy, go to the website listed below.

Is it a 'good idea'? If you think it is, it is. Is it OBJECTIVELY good? There's no such thing.
