I think that for my research topic I want to do art therapy. I did a small project on it before and did a little bit of research and I found it very interesting. I would really like to know more about the subject because I believe it really works. Art therapy is helping out people with mental challenges such as autism, brain injuries, anyone who has trouble communicating or opening up, etc. It can help a wide range of people old and young.
The creative process deals with psycotherapeutic theories and psychological aspects. Many believe that art has healing powers because it is relaxing and stress free. People are more able to express themselves through what art they make rather than having to talk to a strange psychologist that they do not know. Instead of analyzing the person's thoughts, art therapists would analyze their art to know what's going on inside there head.
I think that this subject would be great to research. I think that I could research the pros and cons and find out if this new therapy is going to grow in the future or not. I should find out what the range of people that this therapy can help. What kind of degrees would and art therapist need would also be something to look up. I could answer a few of the questions plus more and create a very interesting paper.
