Drama and Speech Therapist

Art therapists use artistic means to strengthen people's health, support them in cases of illness and crisis as well as during fundamental changes. They activate the resources and self-healing powers of their clients, promote their sensory perception, creativity and personal development, consolidate their autonomy and show them how to deal with problems creatively. Art therapists usually work according to a doctor's prescription. They integrate medical diagnoses as well as their own observations and findings into their work. They take a holistic view of people and consider social, physical and psychological aspects. They agree therapy goals together with the client. Art therapists select suitable artistic means, develop a therapy concept and develop a therapy programme.
