If art is spiritual as well as mental, which
I think it is, then it follows that art therapy is real. But the question is
how can art heal; what kind of art can deliver healing virtues to the one
needing healing? I also want to believe that the mind is a very important tool
or channel of healing for the entire human organism. The use of tranquilisers
and also, especially placebos, are ways that clearly suggest that the mind
affects also the way the body – a physical aspect of the individual reacts to
the call to healing, and bodily repair.
