First sentence: Art therapists have traditionally worked with patients excluded from verbal psychotherapy services, beginning in the 1940s and 1950s with so-called 'chronically mentally ill' or 'burnt out' patients, later in the 1970s with the 'severely mentally handicapped' and in the past two decades with elderly dementing patients.
