The Healing Role of Painting in the Field of Self-concept
Adopting the review and analysis of domestic and international literature,we start from the perspective of the healing function of painting on the self,and explore the development history of painting therapy and the healing effect of painting therapy on the self-concept.Firstly,painting therapy creates three types of safety conditions,namely relationship,environment and process,to help individuals better express themselves.Secondly,the human body projects the subconscious mind into the picture during the painting process,which helps to stimulate the awakening of the self-consciousness.Thirdly,painting therapy adjusts the bias of self-perception in order to achieve self-balance and integration.Fourthly,painting therapy helps individuals to cultivate the ability of self-reflection and acceptance.Based on the four specific roles of painting in self-healing,this paper aims to provide new perspectives and methods for individual self-growth and healing.
