Thesis Overview:

​

My thesis mainly focused on Art Therapy in SEN centres in Dublin. I researched the processes used in Art Therapy and how these combated aggression and discomfort in Service Users. I used my SEN placement as a starting point for my research. 

​

​

​

The main findings for my thesis were...

  • Some service users are labelled as aggressive because of their history or previous incidents involving aggressive or anti- social behaviour

  • Art therapy can help clients to deal with issues in their personal lives which may spur aggressive tendancies 

  • There is a difference between Art Therapy and Arts & Crafts within SEN centres 

  • Individuals with issues with aggression may be removed from Art Therapy sessions for the benefit of the facilitator or the other service users within the Art Therapy group.
