Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore what art therapists consider to be patients’ inner change and how it may appear during art therapy. Thirty-eight trained art therapists with experience of using art therapy as a treatment were included in the study. They were asked to describe how they perceived their patients’ inner change and a situation during art therapy when they observed such a change. An inductive thematic analysis resulted in five themes; Therapeutic alliance, describing trust of the therapist and belief in the method, Creating, which concerns the work in the therapeutic process, while Affect consciousness, Self-awareness, and Ego-strength are part of the therapy outcome.
