Art therapy originated in the West and has developed into many forms. Because of its
transcendence of language, visual intuition, fun and ease, it is very popular among domestic scholars.
In the process of localization of art therapy, theoretical research, empirical intervention, and personnel
training have all developed and progressed. This paper puts forward some suggestions for the localization
of art therapy from four perspectives: ideology, theoretical construction, practical exploration, and
discipline integration.
