Abstract

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.
