Kunsttherapie in Gruppen bei Essstörungen

Abstract

Art therapy in groups is a wide spread therapeutic method for eating disorders. The present paper compiles a literature survey about art therapy in eating disorders. It includes 41 German and English speaking articles published between 1978 and 2007.The articles were classified in four categories. They include art therapy groups, art therapeutical methods, main topics and research methods. The publications emphasize that art therapy is internationally acknowledged in the clinical setting of eating disorders. According to them, emotions which can not be experienced in verbal group therapy easily can sometimes be better expressed in art group therapy by creative means (Pfeiffer et al., 2005; Matto, 1997, Diamond-Raab u. Orrell-Valente, 2002). But there have been no controlled studies analysing the efficacy of art therapy in eating disorders yet.
