Editorial: From Theory and Practice of Arts Therapy
Abstract
We are pleased to present the latest issue of Horizons of Education, entitled From the Theory and Practice of Arts Therapy. The aim of this volume is not only to showcase the results of recent empirical research, but also to inspire reflection on the multifaceted role of art in therapeutic, educational, and developmental processes. The in-depth theoretical reflections presented in the articles clearly demonstrate that contemporary art therapy – grounded in an interdisciplinary foundation – is increasingly transcending traditional boundaries between psychology, pedagogy, medicine, and the arts, thereby opening new areas for scholarly exploration. A polymodal approach to art therapy allows for academic inquiry into multiple artistic domains simultaneously.
