Virtual Art Therapy at Home to Support Cancer Patients in the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Practice Report

This practical report shows a possibility of psychosocial support for cancer patients in an online format by means of "Art Therapy at Home" and is intended to stimulate discussion about how patients can be supported virtually during the pandemic. The project "Art Therapy at Home" illustrates how profitable virtual art therapy can be for patients despite social distancing and what different possibilities exist. At the same time, the limits and disadvantages, such as the limited interpersonal interaction while using the digital medium, become visible and demonstrate that personal contact cannot be fully replaced.
