Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Art therapy can be defined as a form of psychotherapy which uses art as its main means of communication. Patients needn’t have any particular talent in art, since the art therapist is not concerned with making an assessment of what the patient produces. The principle aim of this kind of therapy is to facilitate the patient’s well-being in order to bring change and growth on a personal level through the use of art materials. Obviously, as always, the relationship between the therapist and the patient is important but art therapy differs from the other psychological therapies because it’s a process between the patient, the therapist and the art. So, what we’ve found is, the expressive nature of this therapy is particularly successful with those who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally.

Option 3: "It is a more effective psychological therapy"

Explanation: While the text discusses the effectiveness of art therapy, it does not claim that it is more effective than other psychological therapies. The focus is on its unique approach and suitability for patients who struggle with verbal expression, making this option too broad and unsupported.
