Description

  • Incorporate creative art therapy techniques and interventions for anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, physical and sexual abuse, dual diagnosis, co-morbidity and more
  • Spot normal vs. abnormal development in art
  • Recognize cognitive, physical, and emotional irregularities in art

Do you have clients who are stuck, repeating the same patterns over and over and you feel powerless to help them? Are they often resistant to the interventions you offer?

Join internationally known art therapist, Dr. Ellen Horovitz, in this hands-on workshop where she will show you how to incorporate expressive art therapies into your practice in a disarming, imaginative and emotionally-safe manner.

Reach your most resistant patients with evidence-based practices that cut through an array of disorders, including mood, personality, developmental-learning, eating and body disorders. You’ll learn to identify both normal and abnormal artwork from cognitive, physical, emotional and developmental platforms. Add value to your clinical practice by learning creative art therapy modalities that succeed with individuals, couples and families.

Patient video footage of difficult case studies and active hands-on participation will demonstrate how to incorporate these assessments and modalities into your practice. No prior experience necessary!
