The Arts as Therapy with Children
Introduction
Children & The Arts
Judith A. Rubin, Ph.D., ATR-BC
“A lively celebration of the values of the arts for all children” — Margaret McFarland, Ph.D., Consultant, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”
This film shows activities in multiple arts modalities—music, dance, art, and drama—in a creative arts program for young children at risk for the development of emotional problems. There is an emphasis on the mental health values common to all of the art forms in therapy. Examples are depicted in each of the arts of the naturalness of engaging in creative activities for all children, the need for practice and control in order to achieve control, and the feeling of well-being that accompanies the sense of mastery. The film illustrates how the arts help children channel aggression, as well as the multicultural social benefits of group creative activities. Copyright 1973; Rev. 2008
