Art the­ra­py

The ex­pe­ri­en­ces one has as a re­su­lt of an ill­ne­ss are va­ried, so­me­times stress­ful and not fre­ely cho­sen. In art the­ra­py, the pa­ti­ent tries to re­dis­co­ver the path of life that was brief­ly torn, in­ter­rup­ted and in­vi­si­ble in the fog of suf­fe­ring.
Medizinisches Angebot Kunsttherapie Clarspital Content

The changed life situation needs to be explored, a journey into the unknown begins, accompanied and guided by one's own creativity and the therapeutic framework. The creative powers of the human being enable the expression of inner and outer images with creative means. Mental content becomes communicable and can be taken to another level of consciousness through therapeutic dialogue.
