Art
The American Art Therapy Association states that "Art therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life-enhancing." Others believe that "The healer is discovering that art, music, dance and poetry have profound healing effects." And whether in a formal setting or not, it is obvious to most of us that painting, sculpture, music, dance, poetry, storytelling, and other artistic endeavors can have a very positive impact on us all, patient and caregiver alike.
