Social contribution[edit source]

Hi, I find this topic interesting and I enjoyed reading your chapter. I think your section 'What is art therapy' would benefit from a change in sentence structure. 'Art therapy is an experiential method of treatment that involves the use of visual stimulus and creative activities, such as drawing, painting or sculpting, to help people express themselves, and to understand and examine psychological and emotional states, thus providing a therapeutic benefit for those who are experiencing psychological distress (American Art Therapy Association, 2013).' This sentence is very long and reads a bit odd as it has a lot of commas. I would suggest breaking this into two separate sentences. Lovely chapter overall though, engaging and well written. --BirdU3171984 (discusscontribs) 09:03, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit source]

Hi, you have approached your chapter wonderfully. The layout of your chapter and the information presented is amazing. I would suggest adding a variety of pictures and possibly some quizzes/reflective questions to make it more interactive! Besides this, it is so so so good! Please feel free to check out my book chapter too https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2020/Nature_deficit_disorder and provide me with any feedback :)

Comments[edit source]

Hi, interesting topic! It looks like your chapter is coming along niceley.

Maybe you could include a section about art therapy for people with disabilities. Art therapy is funded by the NDIS in Australia as an allied health service, like speech therapy, disability support, and physiotherapy. It's nationally recognised and commonly used by people with disabilities (i'm a disability worker and have taken many clients to a day of art therapy before, it's a great way for them to express themselves and connect with each other). --U3130574 (discusscontribs) 23:30, 25 August 2020 (UTC) Luella[reply]

Focus questions and see also[edit source]

Hi, Really interested in the direction of your chapter! I think the focus questions could be revised to break down the content that will be covered throughout the chapter and to ensure that the subtitle question will be answered indepth. Perhaps something like, 2. What is the link between art therapy, emotions and psychological wellbeing? 3. How can art therapy be applied to psychological theory and practice? 4. What physiological effects occur during art therapy?

Additionally, can provide some links under see also, such as art therapy as well as any older book chapter pages that may be relevant. U3202026 (discusscontribs) 06:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Case study[edit source]

Hi, I mentioned that the case study is hard to find as a sentence, maybe you can put in the round box.--U3178984 (discusscontribs) 03:03, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
