Description
Summary:The paper affirms that art does not recover but can be therapeutic, and suffering can be an opportunity to create instead of an obstacle to the creation. Opposite to a conception of art therapy in hospitable context as workshop of leisure or space of distraction and withdrawal of oneself, a vision of art therapy appears as learning of self, as contact with the unacceptable, asocial and darkly of the own singularity. The art therapy workshop is a place of meeting and clash with self, taking advantage of a context without risk that contributes the artistic activity, unlike other spaces socialized of the daily life.
