Verbal and Non-verbal Communication in Art Therapy Workshops
Verbal and Non-verbal Communication in Art Therapy Workshops

Summary/Abstract: The study is based on a previous research, which I organized and tutored at Vadaskert Child Psychiatry Hospital and Outpatient Clinic in Hungary in 2012. In 2015, I repeated it in the third part of Christelijke Hogeschool Ede’s International Corporate Communication Program. In regard to the first group, I made only one change: I mixed Irén Lovász’s Inner Voice disc’ssongs and replaced the half of them with English-language music. Regarding the results – when we organize a short-term art therapy workshop, we need to know that its purpose is not to achieve a big change in anyone’s behavior or personality. It is only about to draw a test group, where the participants can have the experience of group work, and the involvement in giving and getting feedback from each other. Therefore, it offers a great opportunity to increase their self-knowledge by being brave enough to deal with new situations.
