Art therapy supervision comprises of administrative, educative, and supportive aspects. Because of the various pressures faced in the workplace, the aspect that often gets left out is the art. Supervisors can also get caught up in one area based of supervision on their own style and the supervisee’s needs. Art therapists are trained in using the visual arts processing to support clinical work -  How do these tools and methods translate (or not) within the supervisory space?

This workshop will focus on the value of art in art therapy supervision. The intention is to go beyond applying art therapy clinical practices into supervision. Rather, this workshop will evaluate current supervisory practices, identity what is collectively being utilized in art therapy supervision, and intentionally utilized new methods to support the clinical development of supervisees. 

Note: This workshop is only open to SVA art therapy supervisors. Contact the SVA MPS Art Therapy Department for details.
