PECULIARITIES OF USING ART THERAPY TECHNIQUES IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RECOVERY OF SECURITY AND DEFENSE SECTOR PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED

Abstract

In the realities of the war on the territory of Ukraine, the personnel of the security and defense sector face daily physical and psychological challenges that lead to constant physical and psychological overload. In addition to performing their assigned tasks, they are subjected to constant targeted shelling by the insidious and cruel enemy, which results in our employees being wounded and suffering numerous injuries. For the purpose of effective recovery, it is important for psychologists in the security and defense sector to use comprehensive methods of rehabilitation and psychological support, among which various art therapy techniques occupy a special place. Art therapy is an effective method of psychological recovery of the wounded, especially in conditions of stress, anxiety and physical rehabilitation. It combines creative techniques that promote emotional, cognitive and physical recovery of the wounded.
