Focusing on Art Therapy and guided imagery, this case study explores their impact on patients with psychosomatic conditions, aiming to improve symbolic expression and emotional regulation. It includes a historical overview of psychosomatic medicine and examines the therapy process of two women, analyzing their artwork before and after guided imagery sessions. Observations highlight changes in their artistic expression, prompting questions about the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach. While it does not draw broad conclusions, the study suggests positive effects on the patients' psychotherapeutic journeys.
