Abstract
The use of visual arts in counseling children is explored. The benefits associated with the use of art therapy include helping counselors access thoughts and emotions that may not be verbalized. Art therapy is a productive, non-threatening method of expression for children. It assists the counseling process in revealing the child’s family dynamics or systems, self-expression, conflicts and perspective. Various techniques and goals are explored in this poster.
