Tematika

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, gentle transformation of unpleasant experiences into conscious knowledge, and turn the emotional or physical pain into a resource. Basic knowledge of art-therapeutic methods will replenish the repertoire of the students with multiple techniques for assistance (to self and others) in critical situations, including state of disease, with the use of creative tools. The course contributes to a better understanding of the psychological aspects of diseases, their causes, management, and prevention. 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, and 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 and 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 first semester cover the basic principles and the main branches of art therapy.
