Course description

This course is designed to enable students to implement knowledge and skills developed during specialist art therapy knowledge and skill courses. Students undertake 200 hours of art therapy practice, of which a minimum of 50 takes the form of provision of art therapy to clients. During this practicum, students are expected to demonstrate capacity to provide art therapy services under general supervision but with substantial autonomy. Other activities appropriate for this course include observation of the practice of more experienced art therapists, participation in individual or group supervision or other clinical case discussions and record keeping. Students participate in a weekly supervision group provided by the university. The full 200 hours or some proportion thereof may be undertaken in the student's own workplace, subject to access to appropriate practicum experience and suitable supervision arrangements.
