Sažetak
Introduction: Creative therapy is a interdisciplinary model of using different kinds of art-media (art-therapy, music therapy, bibliotherapy, psychodrama/drama therapy, dance movement therapy) with the purpose of inducing imagination, creativity, self-expression and elaboration of traumatic experience. It could be valuable approach in different field of chronic disease or sensory, motoric or cognitive disorders, especially when they are accompanied with some specific emotional and behavioural disturbances. Goals: The aim of the study was review of some researches related to creative therapies’ influences on the sample of children with malignant diseases, adolescents with visually impairments and adults with depression, that are conducted at the Department of Motility Disturbances, Chronic Diseases and Art-therapies at the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Zagreb. Methods: With the purpose of the psychosocial status assessment the following variables were defined: coping mechanisms, emotional experience, self-expression, self-experience, body-image, satisfaction, anxiety, tiredness, relaxation and interpersonal relations. Evaluation was made by using following assessment instruments: Gibson spiral maze, Aqua test for stress reaction self-assessment, Basic Ph – The Story of Coping Resources, SUO - coping scale, and visual analogue self-assessment scales. The original data were processed by the INDIFF analysis of changes, and by using analysis of the change on one sample described by a set of quantitative variables – the component model. Results: Positive components of changes obtained on the controlled variables suggest that using of different approaches in the frame of creative therapy could have positive influence on coping mechanisms, physiological and emotional states, body-image and self-experience. Conclusion: Creative therapy as a complementary approach may be valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the different field of education and rehabilitation. By facilitating psychophysiological homeostasis it could be useful in the process of discovering and supporting the mechanisms of self-actualisation and adaptive potentials development.
