Art therapy: a world beyond creative expression | Carol Hammal | TEDxGUC

[@mennensart7936]

I have bachelor’s degree in art education, and I work in schools teaching art for about 7 years .. this presentation was really helpful to me .. maybe it was an enlightment of why i didn’t feel comfortable teaching art in schools .. I think I should learn more about art therapy!! Love from Kuwait~💖

Start at 5:33 if you want to get to the actual presentation.

Thx!

Je ne suis pas un artiste, mais à la suite d'un accident qui eu des séquelles importantes, J'ai appris à fabriquer du vitrail, j'en ai fait des panneaux, des lampes que j'ai offert. J'ai commençé à écrire mes réflexions, durant les dix dernières années. Oui, L'ART EST UNE FORME DE THÉRAPIE !!

[@bestillandlove789]

This is so phenomenal, I never knew about this particular form of art, or even how great of a purpose it would have in my life since. I was incarcerated in 2017, in Hennepin county jail, and this group of kind women would volunteer their time to offer Christian services. The idea of the combination of bible verses and creative expression especially in county jail was unimaginable to me, until it wasn't. Art therapy saved my life!

[@cathymalchiodi]

Giving a TED talk is difficult! I should know! I found this talk interesting because the speaker presented a US-centric view of the field which proposes certain people are the founders of art therapy. That is really not exactly true because art therapy sprouted from so many people throughout the world. In fact, the UK and Australia have distinct histories and other regions of the world knew of the healing capacities of various art processes too, framing their "professional" identities in different ways.

cathy malchiodi , hello . i think the american intellect needs it more than us . let them have it , they won`t won`t know how to use it properly , just as all these conscious , enlightened , experts that are everywhere . common sense is enough for me , with regards

[@RaymondSiag]

Congratulation for your talk, I have read quite a few commentaries about what is worthy to talk about. Keep doing a good job

[@attheranch4876]

WHY is not a good question for art therapy, HOW is better.

[@RaymondSiag]

L'ART EST LE PLUS CLAIR ET EXPRÉSSIF MOYEN D'EXPRIMER SES PENSÉES ET LA PROFONDEUR DES SENTIMENTS QUE TOUT INDIVIDU RESSENT.

[@5GemmaAnn]

so many strangely irrelivant comments. This was an interesting intro into art therapy and art as therapy, I wish she went a bit more in depth with that. She sounded a tad nervous but did well.

[@ranchuan-anna-numpha3318]

FANTASTIC.

[@kattiekreatives2839]

Impressive to learn your story! Thats what actually inspired me to start a youtube channel.

[@WedlerFineArt]

As a plein air artist I thank you. QUESTION: Do you FILM your clients for analysis as they create their art? Does the process of HOW they create art reveal as much as WHAT they create?

[@jennyhughes4474]

Art therapy is great (I do art and go to an art therapy group) but (unlike my mental health team) PLEASE first ensure the 'patient' has a decent safe home to live in, enough income to live on and has access to (and means to pay if required) local and good doctors, dentist, optician etc. for physical ailments and appropriate social care/help if necessary. And NEVER experiment on patients and NEVER make them/us do role-play/theatre etc. if we don't want to. Oh and retraumatising and repeating traumas on purpose ('exposure therapy') of course is inhumane and cruel. Thank you.

[@becausekittenspaint1946]

This is beyond fabulous! 🌸😁

[@sashawhitehead7378]

I am in agreement with you Cathy Malchiodi and have had to stop listening at 8:31 because the definition of art psychotherapy is actually the opposite of the art therapy goal of being non-verbal means of expression and bypasses trauma of having to analyse and verbalize the process / art result. While it may be offered to some to express themselves verbally, it is not essential, but relies upon the astute nature of perception and directives of the art therapist.

[@standauphin1592]

the sound on this is really bad but the talk is really good.

[@amirachristensen1606]

wrong information about the founders and I would say a rather personal approach to art therapy.

[@manfagel]

Interesting topic but far to bad sound that cuts in a wierd way (thesimpleartofhealing) is better at articulating what i feel abut it. To bad that sound removes so much value of a... what should be, amazing talk.

[@jasonbutz5165]

gargantuan good

[@thesimpleartofhealing6976]

Interesting topic. Carol is very difficult to hear and pay attention too between muffle sounds and putting the emphasis and pauses at the wrong times and nervous jitters! Unfortunately I only got 5 min in! Went to a more 'comfortable' vid. Sorry.

[@dympnac3871]

agree 100%. i had to leave too

This person may be very intelligent but she is not an engaging speaker at all.
