I wrote a looong answer to your question a while back, and then it got deleted :( Sorry it's taken me so long to rewrite it. Basically, art therapists use the DSM in the same way as other clinicians...as a guide to diagnose, an aid to conceptualize cases and a way of classifying what someone maybe experiencing in order to discuss their case coherently with others. The DSM does not discuss art therapy as a mode of treatment. I hope this helps to answer your question. Regards, - Liz Hi!
