Abstract: The article discusses the problem of the influence of art on the individual. This includes various interpretations of the concept of "art therapy", and the causes and potentials of therapeutic effects. Based on the literature review, the author analyzes the change in attitude towards emotions in the cultural and historical context. The importance of the influence of emotional phenomena on the mental and somatic sphere is noted. The article proves that art-therapeutic technologies transform emotional phenomena and thus correct bodily and mental processes. Cognitive psychotherapy pays little attention to a person's childhood memories, focusing on current problems, his inner world, thoughts, desires, and fantasies. This is the main difference between this method of treating mental disorders and other popular types of psychotherapy: psychoanalysis and behavioral therapy. Art therapy carries huge therapeutic prophylactic possibilities because it combines consciousness with the unconscious; spiritual with physical. Limitless opportunities are within both our body and. From the combination of material and spiritual, a new human quality appears. Proper management of these new opportunities helps a person to overcome his mental and bodily ailments.

Abstract: The contemporary epoch is often called a digital age. The perception of this epoch and of its opportunities differs between the generation of psychotherapists (in the research literature they are often referred to as "digital emigrants") and today's children (who may be called "digital autochthones"). In the digital age, communication forms and language have undergone transformations, causing changes in the development of children and adolescents. In this new situation, one needs to understand a) how the digital culture influences the development of self-awareness and sense of self in adolescents, and b) which restrictions should be implemented on the usage of smartphones (and other gadgets) during the individual psychotherapy sessions and which of their psychological functions can contribute to the psychotherapeutical process. The paper, thus, discusses whether the usage of a smartphone could become productive for therapy and open a window into the inner world of an adolescent.
Based on the cases from the psychotherapeutical practice and using the methodology of functional-structural analysis of psychotherapy (Burlakova, 1996), the paper describes and analyzes both negative functions of usage of smartphones during psychotherapy sessions (resistance; attempts to avoid living through uncomfortable or difficult relations with themselves and/or others, etc.) and positive ones (a means to understand disorders in evolvement of self, compensation of vulnerability, search for new forms of recognition, etc.). The discussed functions provide a basis for reevaluation of this practice and demonstrate potential new opportunities.
