摘要：Objectives: Analyse the practice of art therapy in adolescence, with particular reference to traumatic
and difficulties in affective regulation.
Methods: Application of the photo novel as an expressive and therapeutic technique, finalized to the
achievement of Self-awareness and integrated identity.
Results: Art therapy is a practice that allows the emergence of traumatic experiences and emotional
contents, difficult to express through verbal production. This technique can be particularly effective
with adolescents, for their identity and in Self-construction.
Conclusions: Art therapy is effective in education and psychotherapy. Given the high presence of
adolescents with possible traumatic experiences and difficulties in emotional expression, it would be
desirable to use Art Therapy as a support tool in the school environment.
