Diorama as a Tool for Exploring the Sexual Self
Tamara J. Galinsky
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v40 n4 p197-204 2023
A diorama, a three-dimensional scene created within a box or vessel, can be used in art therapy to explore aspects of the sexual self, including: sexual identity, fantasy, and desire, as well as issues pertaining to self-image, gender identity, and sexual empowerment. Based on case examples in workshop settings, the sexuality diorama intervention may be particularly useful in the areas of: sexual empowerment and self-affirmation; body acceptance and exploration of gender identity; increased self-awareness; processing of trauma; and future exploration of sexual self. The diorama intervention is an option for art therapists who are looking for means to help clients connect and gain insights on their sexuality within a safe container.
