Home-based Art Therapy in Hong Kong

Abstract

This article investigates the validity and impact of home-based art therapy practices in Hong Kong by highlighting the needs of the home environment, the unique structure of the therapeutic relationship, and the appropriate treatment planning. Additionally, general and culturally specific ethical concerns are examined within the context of home-based mental health care. A homebased art therapy case study is presented to illustrate the benefits and complexities of such a modality. The possibilities of further development in home-based art therapy in Hong Kong are examined.
