Art therapy training involves training in psychotherapy, and – in parallel – training in art-making processes and responsiveness. This unique combination fuses together to develop a health care practitioner who thinks psychologically and insightfully; who has undergone their own psychological therapy; who knows about boundaries, uncertainty and taking risks, authenticity and humility; who has engaged in their own art-making processes; who can create a safe space where people can use a variety of art materials with unconditional acceptance to express themselves in any way; who is open to responding to the artworks with sensitivity, visual literacy, metaphor and creativity; and is able to have a therapeutic conversation with the clients to enable integration, growth and perhaps some healing.
