I use poetry, painting, dance and music as ways of expressing the inexpressible

Please don't see these crappy ward based groups as therapy though however they try to market themselves they do not deserve to be called 'art therapy' etc. Proper Art therapy is carried out by qualified artists who have also had further training in psychotherapy and is accredited as a fully fledged psychotherapeutic approach, not just some group setup by someone not qualified to practice art therapy or similar creative therapies - hence their useless approach and manner. They really should not be allowed to even use that name.
