[Self-Study] Understanding the Developmental Journey of the Art Therapist: Student Professional Development and Supervision. (N/NY)

Recorded On: 03/21/2025

Description:

What do students need? Explore the common experiences of students as novices and what they need to succeed. Discover the discrimination model’s roles of teacher, helper, listener, and consultant as well as a range of universal precautions and intervention strategies that supervisors can utilize to protect students' vulnerabilities while keeping them engaged. How does artmaking contribute to their development at this stage? By identifying the common developmental milestones of the student practitioner, the educator, and supervisor become better equipped to effectively intervene and support the student by meeting them where they are developmentally. What are the unique struggles of second-career or interdisciplinary students?

1. Identify the qualities of the novice art therapist
