The objective of this presentation is to enhance mindfulness of the relationship to the environment through art therapy, as well as to raise awareness of eco-psychological opportunities through artistic and literary expression. Materials and Methods: In the paper will thus be observed from a thought-based angle and practice-driven research approach psychologizing tendencies in modern nature-themed paintings as well as deriving literary aspects with the intent of showcasing elements of bio-empathy. Results and Discussion: The attentiveness is shown to the category of preconscious connected to verbal images as memory-residues which get filtered through artistic visual thinking and subsequent literary expression reflecting positively on the brain regions and the whole of the nervous system. The scope of this presentation is to elucidate from a psychodynamic angle the somatization phenomena, showing therapeutic work in articulating pre-verbal sensations which can be greatly improved by art-making, and used in clinical practice. Conclusions: This presentation will document that visual cultures related to human impact on the environment produce a vision that transposed on medical terrain may prove effective. Therapeutically minded, this solution-based approach at the cutting edge of innovation seeks to suggest ways to release blocked perceptivity caused by incurring traumatism and stimulate positive neurocognitive restructuring in the sense of achieving greater resiliency with an emphasis on the overlap between research theory and artistic moments.EnglishArt therapy; Ecopsychology; Imaging; Neuropsychiatry; Visualityhttps://jneuro.clsconf.com/admin/abstract?id=12References1619Robertson, M.
