Outpatient Group Art Therapy in a Psychiatry Residency Program
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v36 n1 p5-14 2019
This article describes a collaborative educational program for psychiatry residents who co-lead art therapy groups with a licensed art therapist in an adult outpatient clinic. Since the program's inception 10 years ago, 60 residents have completed the training, which includes art making with patients in group sessions. Residents have participated in art therapist-led art activities at wellness retreats for three consecutive years. Personal and professional benefits for residents are described, as well as how exposure to art therapy in residency training can benefit the art therapy profession. Based on the observation of increased cultural awareness of fellow residents and patients, the authors conclude that this program model might help reduce health disparities and marginalization in the workplace.
