ArTA Advanced Course
Have you completed the ArTA Basic Course and obtained your Basic Certificate? Would you like to apply ArTA efficiently in your own professional context, deepen your understanding of the theory from a neuroscience perspective, and use it to further underpin your clinical practice? Then this course is for you.
You can find all the information below.
Contents
This course builds on the ArTA Basic Course. Conducting an ArTA Assessment provides the foundation for the further clinical decisions you make throughout the treatment process.
A clear understanding of the direction and degree of (im)balance and the client’s adaptability can support you in:
-
Establishing an indication for art therapy
-
Formulating treatment goals
-
Methodically applying art therapy interventions
-
Monitoring and evaluating treatment progress
We will explore the theory underlying ArTA in greater depth and also examine the working mechanisms of art therapy from a neuroscience perspective.
We will look at how ArTA can be integrated efficiently into your specific professional context. This includes practising with the shortened ArTA Observation Form, helping you to work more efficiently in the often busy clinical environment.
We will then take the next step towards treatment: how can you use ArTA to inform and shape your interventions in ways that enable the client to work towards the identified treatment goals?
We will also consider the nuanced and complex context in which the client’s treatment takes place.
Finally, we will explore how to position and communicate your contribution as an art therapist to other professionals involved in the client’s care, as well as to the client themselves.
There will be plenty of opportunity to bring in and discuss your own experiences.
Goals
After successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
-
Master the ArTA method in diverse and complex situations in your own work context.
-
Observe and diagnose more efficiently in your own work context.
-
Formulate client-specific treatment goals
-
Methodically design and offer art therapy interventions, using the ArTA Mixing Panel to create sensorimotor, affective and cognitive experience profiles that contribute to restoring balance and enhancing adaptability.
-
Monitor and evaluate treatment progress based on the ArTA method
-
Explain the workingmechanisms of art therapy from a neuroscientific perspective.
-
Position and communicate the contribution of art therapy in terms of observation, assessment and treatment to others involved in the treatment, such as health professionals and, of course, the client.
You will demonstrate achievement of these objectives by writing a short case report.
For whom
Art therapists who wish to further deepen and master the ArTA method and apply it efficiently in diverse and/or complex situations in their own clinical work context.
In order to have sufficient attention to everyone's experiences in working with ArTA in clinical practice, we work with a group of minimum 3 and maximum 5 participants.
Duration
Total 34 hours divided into:
- 6 meetings of 2 hours
- 8 hours of practice in your own work context
- 10 hours of self-study, including writing case report (online supervison included)
