Art Therapy with Grieving Children: Effect on Affect in the Dual-Process Model
Green, Darlene; Karafa, Kacie; Wilson, Stephanie
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v38 n4 p211-215 2021
The Dual-Process Model of grieving suggests that oscillation between negative and positive emotions occurs throughout the grieving process. If either negative or positive emotions are overly emphasized the grieving process could be stymied. To determine how art therapy can support this model, this study evaluated changes in positive and negative affect of 13 grieving children after six sessions of individual art therapy. The findings showed an increase in positive affect and significant decrease in negative affect. The implication of this study is that art therapy can assist the bereaved because of its ability to promote exploration and expression of feelings that occurs in the grieving process.
