Abstract

The article explores the intersection of art and psychotherapy, examining how art serves as a therapeutic tool and how psychological principles inform artistic practices. It investigates various art forms, including mandala art, music therapy, dance therapy, and cinema, analyzing their therapeutic applications and highlighting the dynamic relationship between psychology and artistic expression. The article discusses the benefits of integrating art and psychotherapy, such as enhanced self-awareness, emotional expression, and empathetic understanding. It also addresses ethical considerations surrounding vulnerability, privacy, and potential misinterpretations.
