Course summary

Explore a practical and theoretical overview of Art Psychotherapy in the UK through creative ways.

This in-depth short course offers an introduction to Art Psychotherapy in the UK. Taking an interactive approach, you will explore the key theoretical concepts that underpin Art Psychotherapy

Throughout the programme, theory and practice will be brought together. You will develop an understanding of art psychotherapy through an immersive and reflexive experiential learning process and psychodynamic theory will underpin your teaching

You will participate in an experiential art therapy group facilitated by an Art Psychotherapist

As part of your experiential learning, you will engage in an 'as if' experience of the therapeutic process. Your exploration will extend to social justice issues and the intersectionality of various factors such as class, race, culture, sexuality, physical and intellectual abilities, religion, and gender

You will learn how to apply psychodynamic theory to practice, including gaining insights into the self and others and the dynamic interaction between art-making, communication and group processes

You will explore how Art Psychotherapy approaches and psychodynamic theories are applied to practice in the various settings in which Art Psychotherapists work
