This study proceeds from the assumption that art as a creative modality, is
capable of deepening the individual's awareness of the self and the manner in
which he communicates and forms relationships with his self as well as with
significant others.
This assumption is supported by references to personality theory which is
essentially client-centred in origin.
The study describes and assesses the value of art as a therapy for the
emotionally troubled adolescent, focusing on the process rather than the
product.
The results would indicate that art is therapeutic as the cathartic experience
allows the graphic image to speak in symbolic language for the client, allowing
the therapist to observe the client's psychic relationships and his coming to
terms with his self.Psychology of EducationM.Ed. (Psychology of Education
