dc.description.abstract | Health and art disciplines have worked in cooperation for the development of
health from past to present. Today’s understanding of health requires the integration of
concepts, such as creative thinking, intuitive and aesthetic knowledge, spiritual aware ness, integration, and maturation, which are extremely important in the development
of health. The examination of the process of making and creating art and the develop ment of aesthetic sensations that occur at the end of this process play an important role
in both the development of health, the growth and maturation of the individual, and
the recovery and repair of illness. Art activities not only support holistic health but also
act as a source of motivation for well-being. The inclusion of art in health care services
has positive effects on society from the more broad perspective of health professionals,
patients, and their families. In this review, the relationship between art and health,
which is as old as human history, is discussed in line with the literature review, and the
dimension of art in improving health is examined. In addition, in line with the stud ies carried out, the effects of art therapy on individuals with health problems and art
therapy methods are discussed | tr |
