Both painting and drawing are predominantly two-dimensional forms of art. Of course, you can paint or draw onto a three-dimensional structure, but this tends to be referred to as a finishing process in sculpture when fine art is being discussed. Instead, drawing will often involve making marks onto a sheet of paper or card while painting usually means daubing paints onto other sorts of surfaces, commonly canvas. Of course, the lines are sometimes blurred between these two traditional distinctions. Artists have often used drawing and painting techniques on the same work of art to create some fine effects. The earliest forms of such art date back to prehistoric times when people decorated the inside of caves or made marks on stones.
A talking therapy that is sometimes referred to as an intervention, cognitive behavioural therapy is based on several psycho-social theories. Sometimes referred to as CBT for short, cognitive behavioural therapy aims to challenge people in their thoughts, especially ones that have become cognitively distorted in some way, either through habit, belief systems or erroneous attitudes. By talking about such thoughts and challenging them in a secure environment, therapists try to alter the way patients think which can often include attitudes to themselves. Cognitive behavioural therapy was first developed to help people suffering from chronic depression. Still, it has since been adapted to treat people with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety and even psychosis and bipolar disorder.
