Thematik

Art therapy is based on the idea that the traumatic experience may not be accessible verbally but instead is locked in a subconscious form. Metaphoric cues employed in art methods allow the delicate, ecological transformation of unpleasant experience into conscious knowledge, and turn the emotional or physical pain into a resource. The course is focused on the management of psychosomatic diseases (diagnosis, treatment, prevention) with the methods of art therapy. Improvement of awareness in relationships and lifestyle, work with self-esteem, development of creative thinking and problem solving, training of focusing, generalization, and isolation of the main ideas, improvement of verbal and fine motor skills,- are the few additional assets of the course which might be beneficial for the future physicians. The methods are designed for persons with ordinary creative skills, thus do not require special equipment or abilities. Students can expect informative and well-structured lectures followed by dynamic, interactive seminar classes. Topics of the second semester: art- management of feeding disorders, respiratory diseases, sexual dysfunction and infertility, autoimmune and skin diseases.
