AT 803 - Multicultural Issues in Art Therapy

Institution:

Emporia State University

Subject:

Art Therapy

Description:

This course is designed to introduce and aid students in gaining a heightened awareness of a variety of cultures in art therapy treatment and research. Given the language barriers which may inhibit conventional verbal psychotherapy, the non-verbal aspect of art therapy can prove to be extremely effective with numerous cultures. The text provides an interpretation, examination, and information on a broad range of cultures and potential views of therapy and treatment. Students are expected to comprehensively evaluate their own ethnic upbringing and belief systems, as well as a broad range of other cultures to enhance their level of understanding.
