摘要：AbstractThe paper presents a practical-applied research which investigates the benefits of art therapy on preschool children; how they can be supported to evolve in a desirable way, from a cognitive, affective and psychomotor perspective. The purpose of our research was the pedagogical investigation of art therapy in the formative influence of preschool children with social and family problems (problems of adaptation to the environment of kindergarten, undesirable behaviors in the group of children, family, but also society). The methods and instruments we used highlithed the projective tests method, observation, the questionnaire, sociometrical methods. We mention that we did not diagnose (psychologically) a child; we didn’t interpret their work as it is usually done with these techniques. Through drawings we identified children with emotional, social integration (children group), communication problems etc., only with the elements of visual language, the colors and space used, details and elements of the environment. By instrumenting – as an independent variable – of an educational program, we tried and we succedeed in the formative influence of children, through artistic education, respectively through curricular materials - drawings - created by preschoolers themselves and used in therapeutic and projective purposes, which helped the children significantly in their efforts of effective social adaptation and integration in the kindergarten.
