DESCRIPTION

This training offers techniques and processes for the non-art therapist to utilize in clinical practices. Art Therapy is a graduate level entry field, requiring board certification from a national accrediting body, however, may other clinicians utilize art media and processes in their clinical work. This training offers participants a broad introduction to theories and techniques of art IN therapy, as well as clinical and non-clinical populations served by this profession. Normal child development, as evidenced in artwork, will serve as a foundation for understanding key concepts.

Training Objectives:

Participants will:

  • identify at least four founders of art therapy and their distinct theoretical approaches
  • understand the significance of normative development in art towards an understanding of the presentation of pathology
  • identify the inherent nature of a variety of art media as it relates to cognitive and emotional practices
  • engage in a therapeutic art activity to underscore the understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes activated
  • identify at least 4 art processes that the non-art therapist can use in their practice.
