Hello, welcome to the Art Therapy, Neurology and Society blog on the Tomartist website. Here you will find my thoughts about the interrelationship between art, psychotherapy, neurology and society.
ART starts back some 75,000 years ago and beyond, past the earliest discovered piece of human creativity. There is some art in everything we do, make, say or think. Art as Therapy starts when the first human-like being made something. Whether it was a tool, a weapon, a shelter, a song, a line in the sand or a painting in a cave, it was made of pure human creativity and solved a problem. The origins of art therapy reside in these early human acts of creativity.
PSYCHOTHERAPY starts around the time of the first human’s suffering. Since then we have been driven to seek some form of remedy through art, philosophy, psychology, education, religion and pharmacology.
NEUROSCIENCE is the study of mind-brain through a quantitative lens. It is the paradigm shifting territory in which we find our individual and collective identities jostled about.
SOCIETY is the part of this blog title dealing with sociocultural institutions such as government, education and health care.
If it is somewhere in the intersection between art, psychotherapy, neuroscience and society then I plan to cover it sooner or later in this blog. If this sounds like your kind of journey please continue reading here:
