Utilise Artmaking for Its Therapeutic-Like Effects in Integrative Care Settings: The Non-Art Therapist's Guide
Abstract
Whilst professional art therapy is a well-established discipline with proven clinical benefits, access to formal services is often limited, especially for individuals in long-term care. This chapter defines clear boundaries between clinician-led art therapy and carer-delivered creative activities and positions itself as a bridge between the two. It summarises the theoretical rationale, the quality of existing evidence of art therapy to establish a foundational understanding of the discipline. Building on this, it offers practical guidance for self-organising simple art activities that utilise these mechanisms. The aim is to enable low-risk, evidence-informed creative activities that support emotion regulation, meaning-making and social connection in domestic care environments.
