Art therapy is based mainly on clinical experience and is rarely described and evaluated scientifically. There is a need for further exploration of its use in patients with depression.
The aim of this study was to explore what experts consider to be the main aspects of art therapy in clinical practice for patients with depression.
Eighteen occupational therapists experienced and educated in art therapy participated. The experts answered three rounds of Delphi questionnaires and ranked their agreement with 74 assertions. Consensus was defined as 70% or higher.
The experts agreed more on assertions about theoretical frames of reference than about clinical practice. The main aspects of art therapy were agreed to be the patients' opportunity to express themselves verbally and through making art. It was equally important that art tasks provided an opportunity to address depressive thoughts, feelings, life experiences, and physical symptoms.
Experts in the field of art therapy considered that the main aspect of clinical practice in art therapy for patients with depression is that art themes should promote expression related to both to depression and personal history.
艺术疗法主要基于临床经验，很少有科学的描述和评估。有必要进一步探索其在抑郁症患者中的应用。
本研究的目的是探讨专家们认为艺术疗法在抑郁症患者临床实践中的主要方面。
18名在艺术疗法方面有经验且受过相关教育的职业治疗师参与其中。专家们回答了三轮德尔菲问卷，并对74项断言的认同程度进行了排序。共识定义为70%或更高。
专家们对关于理论参考框架的断言的认同度高于对临床实践的认同度。艺术疗法的主要方面被认为是患者有机会通过言语和创作艺术来表达自己。同样重要的是，艺术任务提供了一个处理抑郁想法、感受、生活经历和身体症状的机会。
艺术疗法领域的专家认为，艺术疗法在抑郁症患者临床实践中的主要方面是艺术主题应促进与抑郁症和个人经历相关的表达。
