About 30 years ago, I took 2 UC extension classes in art therapy. I found it an area full of potential, but, alas, at the time, it was underutilized. Meds were (and are) the preferred method. I also have MA in art ed. and lot's of years teaching.

Art therapy was a saving grace for my Mom after a couple of strokes left her in assisted living and unable to drive. The teacher discovered a talent we never knew, and got her private sessions with the Artist in Residence - we cherish the few paintings she completed before her final illness. If I can find it, I will send a shot of her Memorial card from her funeral - my husband put a picture of her favorite painting on it.
