This review presents available evidence regarding the benefits of art therapy and therapeutic arts interventions for stroke survivors. Whilst available evidence is very limited, it suggests that art therapy may address many of the diverse cognitive, emotional and functional needs of people disabled by stroke. Attention, spatial processing, sequencing and planning seem to improve among those who persist with art therapy. Use of the stroke-affected limb may increase. Several studies report improvements in social interaction, and emotional expression. Most published reports offer single case examples, which are idiographic and illuminating. Nonetheless, the brevity of these reports, the reliance on therapist's own accounts, and uncertainties surrounding case selection make generalization of the findings uncertain. There is a pressing need for multi-method research studies. These could use quantitative standardized scales to explore changes in stroke survivors’ physical and emotional functioning, and qualitative enquiry to gain the insights of stroke survivors concerning the art therapy process. Such research designs might help to establish a better recognized role for art therapy within multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation programs.
► Art therapy is a complex intervention capable of addressing the diverse disabilities of stroke survivors.
► Case studies and a few interview studies show that stroke survivors improve use of the affected limb or learn adaptational techniques through participating in art therapy.
► Art therapy facilitates focused attention, social interaction, communication, and emotional expression.
► As formal research evidence is so limited, few explicit guidelines emerge for achieving best practice with stroke survivors.
► Mixed-method research might provide the foundation for art therapy to become a better recognized component within stroke rehabilitation programs.
