Programme Outcomes
|
This programme specifically explores the practical application of art therapy as a therapeutic intervention and is experiential in nature. It facilitates the development of professional Art Therapy skills supported by theoretical underpinning. To help clients to become integrated, we need to promote and integrate the experience of verbal and non-verbal approaches and encourage them to be in tune with both rational thinking and intuitive knowing. Using Art as an integrative part of your work practice will bring about this non-verbal wisdom. |
|||||||||||||||
Programme Evaluation |
Written assignments are assessed as per Level 7 assessment criteria. A pass is the minimum requirement for successful completion. As well as theoretical assessment students will be monitored for application of theory to practice and demonstration of the lived Humanistic experience of the therapeutic process. Students will be given every opportunity to resubmit an assignment where the initial submitted assignment falls short of the assessment criteria.
Each assignment has specific criteria outlined in a Programme Handbook.
Attendance: 100% attendance expected, 85% attendance required.
Supervisory Evidence of 30 hours of Art Therapy integrated into clinical practice. Personal Therapist Evidence of 10 hours of Personal Therapy.

‘Creativity is Intelligence having fun’ (Einstein)
‘The creative challenge of our time is to take our own path of individuation under our feet because if we do not, no one will do it for us and we will be forever undone. To live one’s own life is to take these steps of creativity’. (Ruff, 1988) in Swan-Foster, N. 2018 Jungian Art Therapy, A Guide to Dreams, Images, and Analytical Psychology, Routledge, New York.
