Arteterapia en oncología

Abstract

espanolDentro del ambito oncologico, la arteterapia propone un espacio de trabajo dirigido al desarrollo de recursos personales e interpersonales promotores de salud, que puede resultar util junto a los que plantean otros dispositivos terapeuticos mas enfocados en el tratamiento del malestar. Dos de los aportes que refiere la literatura son el desarrollo de la creatividad y el acceso a areas de reflexion y, por tanto, expresivas y comunicativas, eficaces en relacion con areas de la experiencia a las que las personas no pueden poner palabras. Este articulo avanza en este sentido con la intencion de mostrar, con una mayor amplitud y agudeza, el alcance de una via que arranca poniendo en juego la parte sana de la persona y la dispone hacia la participacion de una vivencia de caracter estetico, ademas de expresiva y comunicativa; se dirige a expandir su campo experiencial, a abrirlo a la conexion de areas de experiencia significativas, vitales, universales; y a generar un tejido relacional no excluyente, conformado por experiencias, pero tambien por objetos en los que pacientes y familiares podran siempre encontrarse. EnglishWithin the Oncology setting, Art Therapy offers a working space targeted to developing personal and interpersonal health promoting resources, which can be useful together with those presented by other therapeutic instruments more focused on treating the condition. Two of the contributions reported by literature are: the development of creativity, and the access to areas of reflection and, therefore, expression and communication, which are effective regarding areas of experience which persons cannot describe with words. This articles moves forward in this sense, intending to show with higher intensity and to a higher extent the scope of a pathway which starts by compromising the healthy part of the person, and guides them towards being involved in an experience of aesthetic nature, as well as expressive and communicative; it is targeted to expanding their scope of experience, to open it to the connection of significant, vital and universal areas of experience, and to generate a non-excluding relationship tissue, formed by experiences, but also by objects where patients and relatives will always be able to meet.
