Art Therapy

Since the beginning of the field, many art therapists have used artwork as a practice to help them manage and understand their work with clients. In contemporary times, this form of creativity is known as response art. Some of the original writings about response art refer to its use to elucidate countertransference. This article provides an overview of the history of response art, including its origin in clinical work, current uses in art-based supervision (face-to-face and distance), activism, and in art-based research.
