Monitoring arts and psychomotor therapies: Further development and validation of the Self-expression and Emotion-Regulation in Arts and Psychomotor Therapies Scale (SERAPTS)

The validity of the tool has been established in previous research. The present study sought to establish the applicability and reliability/sensitivity to change of the SERAPTS, with a view to extending it to the broad spectrum of all creative arts and psychomotor therapies. The SERAPTS was shown to be a valid and sensitive instrument for monitoring the effects of creative arts and psychomotor therapies, indicating healthy self-expression and emotion regulation skills that serve positive self-regulation.
