Back in the 70s and 80s music, art and role playing therapy were big and did help a lot of people. Then HMOs came along and insisted on cutting things that actually help patients but increased the bottom line for the boards. Now most of the IP art therapy is the cut out magazine and paste it on something variety. most therapy IP is handing out meds and yap yap therapy as it cost less.

Private hospitals that can charge more still my get offer real art therapy but it's mostly not covered by insurance. Mores the pity it greatly helped me with PTSD.
