The Arts as Therapy for Children
Description
It's natural for children to engage in creative activities, and when their enjoyment is therapeutically guided, an even greater sense of mastery and well-being quite often results. This program shows activities in multiple modalities - music, dance, art, and drama - in a creative arts therapy program for youngsters at risk for developing emotional problems. Examples taken from each of the modalities depict how directed creativity can help channel aggression, while also illustrating the social benefits of the multicultural gatherings. Using classic footage from pioneering sessions filmed in 1973, the video emphasizes the mental health values common to all of the art forms when used as therapy.
