Query from member regarding Recreational therapy, Creative therapy and Art therapy. They are unclear about the difference between recreational therapy and creative therapy. Is this that 42364006 |Recreational therapy (regime/therapy)| involves arts, crafts, sports, games and outings so is wider than but includes 278415002 |Creative therapy (regime/therapy)|?

Art therapy is not currently a subtype of Creative therapy but a child of 276239002 |Therapy (regime/therapy)|
Also definitions of Art therapy are usually restricted to the visual arts such as painting, drawing or sculpture but the SNOMED concept has the synonym Arts based therapy which is probably wider. This concept also has subtypes of Dance therapy and Music therapy which probably should be siblings of Art therapy.

Hi Elaine Wooler Just following up what the outcomes for the first item (Domestic abuse) is here ?
We've recently had a request to "family violence" as a synonym, but if this was done thoroughly would introduces duplicates such as the "Domestic violence (event)| is a subtype of Domestic violence (event)" described above.
FWIW I think abuse is good for the FSN, for the broader concepts - as the meaning of violence (OK as a PT) seems to have expanded beyond "physical force". And subtypes necessarily qualified with adjectives like physicial, psychological, economical etc..
I'm curious about non-English terms too...?
