Many of us therapists rely on professional art therapy guidelines to hone our skills. Academic studies and clinical experience are perfectly good starting points, but we always need to enhance and update the methods we use. Usually, we search for art therapy resources and exercises and try to come up with good art therapy ideas.

In many cases, after graduating, you receive training – every week or two, you undergo supervision and share clinical case experiences. Still, from our experience, there are many who specialize in art therapy and feel that they need additional resources, to refine their diagnostic and evaluation skills.

If you think about it, when you receive supervision, you focus on how you, as an art therapist, feel as a party to the therapeutic session and how best to proceed with your patient. Usually, the supervision does not include learning about new research findings or tools in your area. This requires you to acquire additional tools that will promote your therapeutic practice.

What do we offer?

For those of you who specialize in art therapy for children, we would like to offer online courses and e-books which will guide you on how to analyze children's drawings and provide you with professional tools and methods for understanding their inner world.

Online Courses
The online lessons are used as guidelines for art therapy-based diagnosis and evaluation. In the videos, we present dozens of children's drawings collected from all over the world. These drawings represent various aspects related to key elements in the drawings, as well as how these elements reflect on children's personality traits.

E-Books
Our e-books, on the other hand, focus each on a single topic related to children's behavior, such as coping with divorce, and provide a broad overview of the topic using children's drawings as reference. Every drawing in the e-books is accompanied by theoretical interpretations relying on the most recent relevant studies.

Expert Training Center
In addition, we created an expert training center, which offers complementary articles and case studies, so that you will be able to improve your drawing analysis skills.

What are the advantages?

One-stop shop: All the detailed information you need in one place.

Our learning material, written by a group of professionals from a variety of related disciplines, offers you a comprehensive knowledge base presented in a well-structured, insightful and easily understood way, so as to enable you to dramatically improve your skills and diagnose drawings by children who come to you for art therapy treatment.

Quicker and more accurate diagnosis and resolution

Analyzing the drawings of children treated in your practice will enable you to gain earlier insight into their problems, and how is best to proceed with the therapy towards the goal you have set or towards the resolution of the difficulty which brought the child to art therapy treatment. Understanding the child's drawings will also help you in case the therapeutic process gets blocked and you need a new direction.

Coping with a range of issues

Children's drawings can provide a quick and quality solution to a wide range of issues treated in art therapy: stress, crisis, traumatic events, cognitive functioning, family relationships, behavioral regression (such as bedwetting), temper tantrums, and general quality of life.

An additional tool in your box

Our training, which is particularly relevant to art therapy, has a clear advantage for you. Beyond enabling you to provide more effective help to the child and his family, it makes your clinical practice unique in that you add an important skill to your resume.

Guiding your therapeutic practice

The knowledge you will acquire will enhance your professional art therapy skills and contribute to your practice for many years to come, as well as deepen your confidence in your therapeutic approach, because in many cases you will be able to cross-reference the drawings' meanings with your impression of the child.

For example, one art therapist told us that after taking our lessons, she noticed that a child's human figure drawings did not include pupils. Indeed, the child she was treating did not understand his environment clearly, yet after her work with him, she slowly began to see his drawings transform, as if the world was becoming clearer to him. 

There are other cases in which a child feels he can communicate with his family and friends and you may see it clearly through his drawings. In fact, these examples demonstrate to you how you, as a therapist, can witness the outcome of your own art therapy practice.
