Art therapies like drawing and painting, music, and dance have been used to treat patients like children and senior citizens, and afflictions like mental disorders and developmental disabilities when verbal counseling alone and psychotherapy have limited effects. Beauty elicits responses most readily and its effectiveness in stimulating brain development is supported by drawings and paintings done by patients (Kim Son Hyon, 2009). This is a case of a 20 yearold female “T” who had difficulty finding employment because of behavioral and interpersonal relationship difficulties and challenges arising from neurosis associated with developmental disabilities. For example, “T” could not converse properly face-to-face, could not carry out overlapping instructions, and her mind went blank and she froze when she was admonished. She began counseling, but did not continue after the first session. I decided to implement art therapy in “T’s” case after consulting Dr. Morioka, director of MOA Kanazawa Clinic.
My initial objectives were getting “T” to practice art therapy, building up a relationship of trust, and creating surroundings in which she could converse without anxiety. Continued implementation of art therapy facilitated communication with therapists, and we were able to build up a relationship of trust with her. After that, we continued implementing art therapy with the goals of having her develop mental stability and confidence. She began to release her daily stress and strive for mental stability as she continued art therapy. As a result, she was able to find part-time employment at a convenience store and worked there for a year. “T” is presently working part-time at a Japanese-style confectionary store. Art therapy worked well for the patient in this case.
