dc.description This study explores the role of art therapy and spirituality in the healing process of a sixteen-year-old female who experienced acquaintance rape. Utilizing choices and expressive images in art therapy, the research aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the invasive impact of sexual assault and the resilience of the human spirit. Adolescence is one of the most challenging transitions in life, moving from childhood to adulthood can be confusing creating issues concerning self-identity, sexual identity, physical appearance, social status, and acceptance. For this adolescent experiencing sexual assault during this stage of maturation was confusing, painful, and disturbing. Feeling isolated and misunderstood, she retreated behind a façade of masked feelings and controlled responses. This case study follows the young woman through 15 sessions of art therapy that incorporated creative and spiritual expression. The Belief Art Therapy Assessment initiated dialogue regarding spirituality and religion helping this adolescent to clarify her own spiritual beliefs and consequently find strength and meaning in her life. en_US
