Abstract: Psychosocial problems are common among children and adolescents, and emotion regulation appears relevant in developing, maintaining, and treating them. Art therapy has been shown to enhance emotion regulation, utilizing creative expression and artmaking as communication. The affect-regulating Arts Therapy program (ArAT), developed across disciplines, was here applied in art therapy to reduce psychosocial problems in children and adolescents with affect- and emotion-regulation problems.
