ART THERAPY Integration of Basic Psychological Theories and Expressive Art -Practicing Interventions-

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in art therapy, which is an expressive method in order to protect and strengthen the mental health of individuals. Art therapy is an effective alternative to classical psychotherapy methods, which helps clients to fulfill their unmet needs in a symbolic way through artistic materials, thereby strengthening and protecting their mental health.
This book presents proven art therapy practices in the context of basic psychology theories, including the psychodynamic approach, adlerian approach, humanistic approach, existential approach, cognitive behavioral approach, and mindfulness. The book contains examples of case studies on the basic concepts of the above-mentioned approaches. Some applications in the book are applications that have been used in practice for many years. Many applications developed by the author for use in individual and group therapies are included in this book for the first time.
We hope that this book will contribute to all mental health professionals who help individuals through art therapy and practices, are dedicated to understanding and touching their lives, and accompany their clients on their journey.
