Edvard Munch     The Scream 1893

As far as I can tell, there is no research or information on the Web (other than what has appeared in this blog) about using art therapy after a heart attack. None. Nada.

What is the deal here? Vets with PTSD do art therapy. Kids with asthma benefit from art therapy. Art therapy reduces pain in cancer patients.

(I would note that a I got a number of hits for “state-of-the-art-therapy” — but clearly “art therapy” is considered not “state of the art.”

(I would also note that there are some links under Medical Art Therapy, but art therapy sure is a hidden and underutilized approach to healing.)
