Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this art history class:


This course will examine the clinical implications of incorporating the arts in therapy, with particular attention to the dynamics that occur when a therapist materially participates in assigning or directing tasks, offering art materials, interacting with the client to set-up or clean-up, and being asked to lend a hand or offer an opinion about a finished artwork. Participants will learn why and when certain art materials are contraindicated; what to do when your client can’t or won’t draw; how to respond when a client wants to destroy his art; and the risks in offering specific directives.

Discussion will include an overview of art therapy practice including New York State licensing, national certification and scope of practice guidelines. Course will review the advantages of art and nonverbal interventions including an understanding of basic media along the expressive continuum of control vs. regression.

Students will be introduced to responsible techniques for how to understand artwork’s meaning, such as how to identify and expand narratives and metaphors and co-construct meaning. Other topics covered in this intensive course include techniques for engagement, issues of resistance specific to art therapy; planning interventions to fit treatment goals, clinical decision-making for when a therapist joins in art making, and appropriate/ ethical handling of artwork.
