Objectives: Analyse the practice of art therapy in adolescence, with particular reference to traumatic and difficulties in affective regulation. Methods: Application of the photo novel as an expressive and therapeutic technique, finalized to the achievement of Self-awareness and integrated identity. Results: Art therapy is a practice that allows the emergence of traumatic experiences and emotional contents, difficult to express through verbal production. This technique can be particularly effective with adolescents, for their identity and in Self-construction. Conclusions: Art therapy is effective in education and psychotherapy. Given the high presence of adolescents with possible traumatic experiences and difficulties in emotional expression, it would be desirable to use Art Therapy as a support tool in the school environment.
