This two-day workshop blends theories and experiential exercises offering a thorough introduction in the therapeutic use of visual art as a powerful treatment modality.

This training event reviews various topics within the field of art therapy as it pertains to their particular group. Covered are such topics as the history of art therapy, important evaluation techniques used by art therapists and case studies with client/patient artworks in power-point presentations. Additional training in working creatively with children traumatized by war is featured.
