Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of communication
BAAT was formed in 1964 out of a group of artists and therapists who realised that in order for Art Therapy to develop, and for its value to be more widely appreciated, it was necessary to have a central organisation to which the general public and employing authorities could refer.
Art therapists have a considerable understanding of art processes underpinned by a sound knowledge of therapeutic practice, and work with both individuals and groups in a variety of residential and community based settings, for example: adult mental health, learning disabilities, child and family centres, palliative care and the prison service.
What I learned that was special:
• An Art Therapist who has been practicing for seven consecutive years can submit a thesis and apply to become a Fellow of the Association.
