Discuss the role the creativity plays in existential psychotherapy.
What will be an ideal response?
Creativity can be a potent antidote to the existential crises that typically lead patients to treatment. Creative endeavors can help constructively channel disturbing affects (i.e., anger and grief) that might otherwise manifest as pathology or violence. Consequently, existential psychotherapy acknowledges and deeply respects the patient’s congenital need for creative self-expression.
