Episode 938 | Therapy Session Using The Power of Art

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating intersection of art and psychology through the lens of Monroe Beardsley’s theories on aesthetics. How does engaging with art serve as a therapeutic outlet, especially for individuals navigating emotional challenges? Our case study explores the story of Gladys, a college student prescribed art engagement as a remedy for emotional struggles, analyzing the transformative potential of creative expression. And his therapist Doctor Julian, who helps Gladys overcome her intense emotions through engaging in various forms of art. We discuss studies, including a 2020 meta-analysis on the mental health benefits of art therapy, highlighting its ability to reduce anxiety and enhance self-awareness. Join us as we unravel the power of art (not as a measure of skill but as a profound tool for healing and emotional release).
