Summary/Abstract: The following article entitled „Techniques in art therapy on working with the stress” touches on the influence of the selected art therapy techniques on the reduction of noticeable stress among women. Human’s everyday life regardless of the sex nowadays abounds with a plenty of different sources of potential stress. In response to the pathological influence of stress on a person’s self-development and mental and physical health, scientists and researchers on the fields of general health are constantly seeking new ways of managing the stress. One of the areas that has undertaken that challenge is art therapy. The aim of this publication is to introduce to the reader the results of the research involving the influence of selected art therapy techniques on a noticeable level of the stress experienced by women. On the basis of the results it can be assumed that a systematic participation in art therapy classes reduces the level of stress experienced by women and that the women involved in art therapy are characterised by a significantly lower stress level than the women not participating in that kind of courses. The data collected by using the method of observation proved a universal and multidimensional therapeutical character of selected art therapy methods like art, choreotherapy, music therapy and bibliotherapy.
