Art is defined as the creation of forms symbolic of human feelings. It is a creative method of self-expression and communication. Art records and preserves emotions, helps in selfunderstanding and personal growth. Art therapy on the other hand, a term coined by British artist Adrian Hill in 1942, ais a hybrid discipline based on Psychology and art to evolve a unique new entity (Malchiodi, 2003). Art therapy is an underrated form of treatment and my aim is to highlight its several benefits which I have done in my research paper. The results present art therapy to be an effective method of emotional expression and also an impactful method of treatment for people who are diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress disorder, and other personality related disorders.
