“…[39][40][41][42] This made it difficult to identify whether art therapy benefited a subset of participants with psychosis. It was unclear whether supporting quotations and/or images were a credible representation of participants' experience, because often no reference was made to the source or context of such 10 examples.…”

“…It was unclear whether supporting quotations and/or images were a credible representation of participants' experience, because often no reference was made to the source or context of such 10 examples. [40][41][42][43][44][45] In the mixed-sample studies it was also unclear whether quotations came from participants with psychosis.Results were sometimes confounded because some participants receiving art therapy had prior interest in art 43,46 and in one study participants in control groups had 'no affinity' for art. 40 It was suggested that motivation 47 and keenness for art may have positively influenced engagement and perceived benefit from art therapy.…”

This narrative review examines the effectiveness of Art Therapy (AT) for people with psychosis and explores whether art therapy is a meaningful and acceptable intervention. Seven electronic databases were searched for empirical papers that concerned the use of art therapy with adults with psychosis that were published from 2007 onwards. The search identified eighteen papers. The highest quality quantitative articles provided inconclusive evidence for the effectiveness of art therapy. The highest quality qualitative articles indicated that therapists and clients considered art therapy to be a beneficial, meaningful, and acceptable intervention, although this was based on limited studies. There is a discrepancy between the quantitative evidence regarding art therapy effectiveness and the qualitative evidence highlighting the value given to it by clients and therapists. Theoretical, clinical, and methodological issues are discussed in light of the development of more robust research, which is needed to corroborate individuals' experiences and guide evidence-based practice.

Theoretical, clinical, and methodological issues are discussed in light of the development of more robust research, which is needed to corroborate individuals' experiences and guide evidence-based practice. This support for the helpfulness of art therapy is rooted in theory and clinical experience and is weakly substantiated by rigorous, controlled research. National guidelines on the treatment of specific conditions, are based on the highest quality scientific evidence, which includes Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews which have at least one RCT. 13By comparison, studies which use cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, or single case designs are considered to provide weaker evidence. 14The effectiveness of art therapy is primarily established through RCTs. In an early Cochrane review, the lack of RCTs prevented conclusions from being drawn about the effectiveness of art therapy for people with schizophrenia. 15 Nevertheless, the two reviewed studies 16,17 contributed The growing interest in art therapy is also evident through recent systema...

This study evaluated the potential benefit of weekly group art therapy in groups of adult psychiatric outpatients at a university medical center. Eighteen patients participated in 4 successive 8-week groups of 6 to 8 patients each that met weekly and were led by 2 therapists (a board-certified art therapist and a psychiatry resident). The standardized Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered pre-and post-treatment. Ten patients who attended 4 or more sessions of group art therapy were included in the study. The mean group CES-D scores for the study patients decreased significantly from pre-to post-treatment. This is the first pilot study report of the efficacy of group art therapy using a standardized depressive measure in heterogeneous adult psychiatric outpatients.
