Art as Therapy within Occupational Therapy in Mental Health Settings: A Review of the Literature

Abstract

There is a lack of literature and research supporting the use of art as therapy in occupational therapy. In spite of this, art as a therapeutic modality is a frequently used tool. In an attempt to define the rationale for using art in therapy, this paper reviews selected literature to gain an understanding of the historical use of art and the current status of art used by occupational therapists in mental health settings.
