Treatment with
the Integration of
the Arts
By Dr. Dany
Lousky
Treatment with
the integration of
the arts is a
treatment method
characteristic of
the emotional
dimension. Through
the integration of
arts in treatment,
it is possible to
train and practice
the ability to
identify emotional
lacks.
Treatment with art
is emotional therapy
conducted using
visual means, when
the art is an
alternative means of
communication that
is not a complicated
language (Case and
Dalley, 1992). The
artistic creation is
a way of distancing
the self from the
feeling of
powerlessness, of
freeing the self
from inhibitions.
Art is a world
without bounds that
is constructed on
symbols, images, and
metaphors and
receives its
uniqueness in the
encounter with
reality.
One of the qualities
of treatment with
art is its ability
to connect to the
unconscious part of
the person’s mind (Yiftach,
1992). Through art,
the person comes in
contact with his
emotions using
nonverbal means that
allow images that
represent the
patient’s conflicts
and troubles to be
brought to his mind.
Artistic expression
increases the
patient’s ability to
participate in the
sense of creation
without needing a
logical, causal, or
circumstantial
explanation. Every
element in the
creation reflects to
some extent the
sense of the self. A
visual translation
of the perception of
the self is
expressed in the
elements of the
page, in the
proportions, in the
wholeness, in the
details or their
emphasis, and in the
degree of use of the
means of expression.
It is possible to
use an examination
of the strength of
the line and color.
Understanding the
symbol and its
personal meaning
helps the patient
release aggravating
contents and achieve
insight and a sense
of greater control.
Integrated medicine
is medicine that
integrates treatment
methods from all
four dimensions that
comprise the whole
person. Treatment
using arts
integration is a
treatment method
that allows the
practice and
training of the
emotional dimension
in each one of the
32 intelligences for
the closer encounter
with the joy of life
(Lousky, 2005).
Table number 8
describes the
relationship between
colors and the
intelligences, the
colors of the
clothes the person
wears, the color of
the walls in the
home or in the
office, the food
colors. All these
are related to the
intelligences.
Adding, removing,
and changing colors
practice and train
the life values
according to the
trend of change (Lousky,
2005).
