This program emphasizes the importance of imagery and creative imagination in art therapy. You'll gain supervised clinical experience, participate in group activities, develop studio skills, and explore contemporary theoretical frameworks.
The curriculum highlights the fundamental role of visual expression and imagination in therapeutic practice. Students will obtain hands-on clinical training with supervision, along with group dynamics experience, studio work, and analytical engagement with modern theoretical concepts.
Each student receives a personal tutor to track their development. Beyond coursework, participants must complete weekly one-hour personal therapy sessions (conducted individually with an Art Psychotherapist) throughout the program - a mandatory professional registration requirement (note: this expense is the student's responsibility).
