The Role of Art Therapy in Psychocorrection: Clinical Applications and Implications for Children’s Inclusive Education

Art therapy has emerged as a powerful psychocorrective approach that integrates creative expression with therapeutic principles to address a variety of psychological challenges. This paper explores the clinical applications and mental health outcomes associated with art therapy, focusing on individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional disorders. Drawing on a comprehensive review of empirical studies and clinical trials, the paper highlights the effectiveness of art therapy in reducing stress, improving self-esteem, enhancing communication, and fostering emotional regulation. Particular attention is given to its non-verbal nature, which makes it highly accessible in culturally sensitive contexts where stigma surrounding mental health persists. The paper also evaluates the role of the therapist and the process of creative expression as a pathway to healing and personal growth. Findings confirm art therapy’s potential as both a complementary and standalone method in psychocorrection, particularly in mental health care systems requiring innovation and inclusivity.
