Art Therapy - Marywood University - art. Art Therapy Marywood's art therapy program is designed to meet the needs of those interested in a career that includes both a commitment to art-making and a commitment to serving others. It will introduce you to the human service profession of art therapy at a pre-professional level. A combination of studio art courses and behavioral and social science courses will fully prepare you for graduate study in art therapy. Master's level art therapy training then focuses on preparing students for professional practice. Our program emphasizes the healing and therapeutic qualities of art, for ourselves as artists and for the clients we serve. You'll be taught and guided by registered and board-certified art therapists who are active clinicians and artists. Coursework emphasizes hands-on experience.

Above all, the making of art is central to the spirit of our art therapy program. Events: Presenter: Stella A. Global Art Therapy Network Blog | Global Art Therapy Network. Reinventing The Wheel Seeing the comment posted made me think some about how so many art therapists work as “lone” or the sole art therapist in their setting. Very few places in my part of the country have more than one art therapist in their system or institution, and this can really lend a feeling of isolation and struggle to the work at times.
Always having to stake claim to our territory and competencies. I wonder if our members might share here some of the ways they deal with that - for me, being active in my Chapter is one way. We are a small Chapter but the meetings we have are extremely valuable times of connection, re-creation, and renewal. It’s no accident that our Chapter meetings often include some form of art making as we all recognize that we need this renewal and connection through our art. I look forward to hearing how other “lone” art therapists connect and ideas about how AATA can support connections. This blog is one start at that so post your ideas freely. Joan. AATA Videos.
