| Abstract | This study provides a better understanding of using visual arts in counselling adults with depressive disorders. Three in-depth case studies were conducted in the counselling unit of a mental health hospital in Malaysia. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied to explore three adult participants’ counselling experiences. They attended six individual counselling sessions, which included four art-making activities, and two after-session interviews, for approximately two months. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The findings showed that through the therapeutic use of visual arts, the participants were able to explore and express various emotions, face their problems, communicate better with themselves and the counsellor, achieve a deeper self-understanding, and make meaningful progress in counselling, even though some of them experienced a sense of uncertainty at the beginning of some art-making activities. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
Visual arts in counselling adults with depressive disorders. For example when art therapy was introduced as part of a post- graduate training course at a hospital in the UK Heywood conducted case studies to inves- tigate how in-patients and out-patients with cancer could address their psychological needs in the art therapy project. Findings Part I: description and observation of the six counselling sessions As the participants counsellor the researcher used a person-centred approach to encourage them to draw explore and freely talk about their issues. I think the one letting me to express my emotions Yes since the counsellor needs to understand his or her clients emotions in counselling If someone cannot use a language to express himself or herself the counsellor can understand what he or she wants to express through his or her drawing I think this kind of activity can be a good start. In fact as the most satised participant of this study Amy shared her belief with the researcher that through her experience research studies such as this could develop more helpful therapeutic methods than merely taking medication in helping the patients with depressive disorders.
