Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts, Ursuline College, Art Therapy and Counseling.
The use of art therapy was investigated as a means of determining the effectiveness as a counseling modality with pre-adolescent girls in a partial hospitalization, summer day camp program. Effectiveness was determined through a variety of methods including direct interviews with the clients, interviews with various staff members, a comparison of behaviors exhibited on art therapy days with days where art therapy was not utilized, and an examination of verbal responses for introspective reflection as a result of completing the art task. On every level, the use of art therapy produced a positive effect on the participants. The program was designed to provide therapeutic interventions to girls, ages 9 through 12, who have been referred to the program for assistance with behavioral problems, socialization skills, and self-awareness/self-esteem. Art therapy had not been previously utilized in this program.
