Abstract

Some of the main aims when working with Roma children are the development of their personality, socialization into society and, at the same time, the devel-opment of creative thinking and activity. For these key objectives, our society mainly uses education. Nevertheless, the above mentioned processes are not without problems. One of the most serious and widely discussed problems as-sociated with Roma ethnicity is the fact that the Roma population is lagging be-hind. In Slovakia, the Roma people are most affected by social exclusion. Roma children are classified as socially disadvantaged children. The aim of this paper is to point out the possibilities of art therapy when working with children from a socially disadvantaged background. At the same time, we will talk about the basis of art therapy with the Roma ethnicity and clarify the importance of doing art therapy with children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
