HOW ART THERAPY SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS
https://doi.org/10.21626/j-chr/2020-3(24)/3
Abstract
As a therapeutic tool, art is a way to develop reflexive self-awareness. We suggest that to establish a link between art-therapy and the advancement of self-consciousness is a necessity taking into account that consciousness compounds of awareness of one’s body and one’s environment. Then we can regard self-awareness as recognition of consciousness. We suggest that a human body plays a key role in the process of conscious experience and that art can refine this process, increasing the awareness of self and others.
