Art therapy is now recognized within the National Institute of Clinical and Health Excellence (NICE) guidelines as a recommended treatment method for some mental health conditions. The evidence shows that art therapy is beneficial to people with schizophrenia: with “improvements in mental health and social functioning” and “with a greater impact on negative symptoms which tend to be less responsive to antipsychotic medication” (Crawford & Patterson, 2007).
“Arts therapies appear to be popular with patients and may result in improved mental health, especially reductions in negative and general symptoms of schizophrenia, which are those least responsive to pharmacological interventions” (Crawford & Patterson, 2007).
Other studies and research in art therapy can be found on the resources page.
