Abstract

In today's society, the public has higher requirements for mental health.

This article takes Luis Borgia as an example to analyze the current research on the artistic healing of Luis Borgia both domestically and internationally and explore how to better apply artistic healing to artistic therapy and maximize its effectiveness.
