Art Therapy

Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association is the leading academic journal in the field of art therapy with over 25 years of continuous publication. Art Therapy advances the research and understanding of how visual art functions in the treatment, education, and enrichment of people. The Journal provides a scholarly forum for divergent points of view on art therapy and strives to present a broad spectrum of ideas in therapy, practice, professional issues, and research. The visual arts in therapy are emphasized but articles in related disciplines of interest to our audiences are considered for blind review and publication.
