Re: Art Therapy in a mental hospital

I have used therapeutic art with low functioning individuals with schizophrenia who were both inpatient and outpatients. Clients found these activities to be useful and fun.
I was not very successful in finding specific literature for this population, but utilized some of the literature on working with the elderly as both populations experience difficulties with thought. In order to make therapeutic art positive experience, it was my experience, one must give much structure and continue to be concrete due to these thought disorder.
