Abstract
Family systems theory emphasizes the family as a whole system dependent on the
interactions between members. Since the 1950’s the integration of family systems theory and
art therapy has developed into family art therapy (Kwiatkowska, 2001). According to
Kerr & Hoshino (2008), family art therapy is applicable to a variety of familial issues and
provides each member the opportunity to see the family from every other member’s
perspective. The study will provide further research and exploration of family art therapy
and applications for use with the familial system.
