The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has classified CAM therapies into five categories:
Alternative medical systems: examples include homeopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and ayurveda.
Mind-body interventions: examples include meditation, prayer, biofeedback, and therapies that use creative outlets, such as art, music, or dance.
Manipulative and body-based methods: examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation and massage.
Biologically-based therapies: examples include dietary supplements and herbal products.
Energy therapies: examples include Reiki and Qigong.

Answer to Question 2

By creating art and reflecting on art, people can increase awareness of self and others; cope with symptoms, stress, and traumatic experiences; enhance cognitive abilities; and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of making art.
