Abstract: Art has played an important role in medicine for centuries. Engagement in artwork and creative activities, also known as art therapy, can be a simple and cost-effective solution that benefits everyone in the healthcare industry, including patients. While art is generally known to be healing, the effects of art therapy on patients is largely unknown by physicians and therefore, is not discussed with patients as part of routine management. In this review article, we assess the literature on art therapy interventions and find art therapy to be beneficial to patients, as well as their caretakers and healthcare providers. More research is needed on the subject.
Keywords: Art, Medicine, healing, mind, health, comprehensive medicine.
