Art therapy is not new to the Middle East, but in recent years it has taken new directions in an effort to meet the huge need for psychiatric and psychology professionals. One of the centers was recently opened in the city of Duhok, in the Kurdish region of Iraq. The center’s director is Deldar Murad, who is not a psychologist.

According to Murad, the goal of the treatment is to give these women a channel through which they can get an outside perspective on their suffering rather than keeping it bottled up.
