Abstract

Experimental psychological study of 112 patients using the scale of HADS showed that after 5 individual sessions lasting from 45 to 60 minutes the level of anxiety decreases from 12.1 ± 2.1 to 8.6 ± 1.2 points, the number of patients with a high level of depression decreases significantly and the number of patients without depressive symptoms increases. We used techniques of drawing "health" and "disease", "self-portrait", "tree of life". Art therapy reduces anxiety and depression, helps to overcome the crisis situation associated with the disease, and adapt to a new life situation.
