Syllabus:
PROGRAM DETAILS Art therapy is the field where the
worlds of art and psychology meet. Its roots can be traced back to Carl Jung,
the first known psychologist to have his clients draw as a means to interpret
dreams and fantasies. However, the true pioneers of art therapy are Margaret
Naumberg and Edith Kramer who, during the 1940s and 1950s, recognized art
therapy as its own field of study and practice. Today, art therapy can be
applied to many different fields of psychology. Treating children with behavior
problems, teens and adults struggling with addiction, couples with marital
difficulties and older adults suffering from Alzheimer's are only a few of the
areas where art therapy is utilized. By making and interpreting their own art,
individuals can reach beyond censored and conscious feelings to a deeper
understanding of personal motivations in everyday life. Art therapy is a unique
and effective approach for offering clients another means of communication. When
words cannot express the secret turmoil, the art produced by the individual is a
raw and honest look into our innermost fears, obsessions, motivations and
personalities. Every creative endeavor produces a type of self-portrait that can
be interpreted and used to aid in further insight and personal growth. This
course is designed to educate participants about art therapy and provide
practical skills for effective assessment and intervention with clients
experiencing symptoms of anxiety. Demonstrations of art therapy techniques will
advance the participants' understanding of the biopsychosocial perspective of
many of the disorders that fall under the category of "anxiety," including
phobias, PTSD, panic, as well as sleeping and eating disorders. From a detailed
introduction of the definition of art therapy to specific art techniques,
participants will gain knowledge and insight into the success art therapy has
with these disorders. Significant attention will be paid to treatment
interventions with numerous opportunities for hands-on, art-based techniques.
Examples of specific art projects, based on symptom management and
psychotherapy, will be presented and experienced by the participants. Several
case studies will illustrate the effectiveness of art therapy with anyone
presenting with symptoms on the anxiety scale. Participants will leave this
course with new understanding and new skills and interventions to assist in the
treatment of even their most difficult anxiety cases.
