The Impact of Digital Media on Mandala Making in Art Therapy in the Treatment of Anxiety
Keyword(s):
In the United States, the usage of electronic media has become ubiquitous. However, the field of art therapy still lags behind in this respect, and it has failed to embrace the use of technology in clinical practice. There exists some evidence that art therapists resist the use of technology in practice because there is little substantiation that digital media is as effective as conventional media in the treatment of mental health issues. Hence, the present study examined if a switch from conventional to digital media impacted the dependent variables (i.e., anxiety, client treatment satisfaction). The experimental design employed was an ABAB reversal design. Results did not indicate this switch had any effect.
