Art is Ageless: The Use of Clinical Art Therapy in Infant and Family Development

The clinical process of Art Therapy provides a unique insight into the development of the infant mind and their relationships. This unique and creative infant/caregiver interaction allows families to explore their tactile environment to effectively communicate without words. This intervention strives to prevent mental health disorders throughout the lifespan and preserve valuable bonding.
