This research explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into art therapy to enhance trauma recovery.
Leveraging AI's capabilities in image analysis and emotion recognition, we developed a framework that
provides personalized feedback and insights to both therapists and clients. For instance, AI algorithms
analyzed artwork for patterns indicative of emotional distress, mirroring techniques used in studies showing
art's efficacy in PTSD symptom reduction (e.g., Malchiodi, 2012). We conducted a pilot study with 30
participants diagnosed with PTSD, using AI-enhanced art therapy sessions. Preliminary results indicate a
significant reduction in trauma symptoms, measured via standardized scales, compared to traditional art
therapy. The AI's ability to identify subtle emotional cues, such as color choices and brushstroke intensity,
facilitated deeper therapeutic conversations. This approach demonstrates the potential of AI to personalize and
amplify the benefits of art therapy for trauma survivors.
