ART AS A PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC INSTRUMENT IN THE PRACTICE OF SCHOOL AND EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Abstract

School and Educational Psychology is today one of the fields of action within psychology and, just as there has been an evolution in the teaching-learning process in schools, there has also been a transformation in the psychologist's perspective about the student and its development. In this way, not only the theoretical conceptions have changed, but also the methodologies used, requiring from the professionals of education and psychology an adaptation in their practice, which sees the individual in an integral way. In view of this, this article sets out to present the relevance of art as a therapeutic function for the teaching-learning process, seeking as a theoretical basis the work of Nise da Silveira and the images of the unconscious. To do so, they looked for articles referring to the theme in a database such as Google Académico and Scielo, followed by a reading of the summary of the articles found to select those that addressed the proposed theme. It was concluded from this work that art as a tool for education enables processes of awareness of the being about their emotions and conflicts, as well as promotes their identification as active agent in the learning process, emphasizing the importance of an emancipating education.
