Comprensión del uso del arte desde una perspectiva humanista existencial para una transformación hacia la construcción de experiencia de paz

Abstract

This research demonstrates the understanding that is given to art from the humanistic-existential perspective to promote experiences of peace that humans can live. The participants were four humanistic-existential psychotherapists from Colombia, Brazil and Mexico. It is a qualitative and hermeneutical research, achieved through a semi-structured interview to participants. Systematization and interpretation of the data was performed using content analysis. The overall conclusion is that art becomes a subjective vehicle for creativity that leads to problem solving as it allows the person a meeting with himself to get to their own conflicts, tension, anxiety, uncertainty among others. At the same time, the way to build peace from the subjective and individual is being visible, emphasizing in activities of daily living, without ignoring the relational world in which the human is immersed.
