What will I learn?

The Diploma of Arts Therapy is a higher education diploma where you will study the significance of arts marking process and symbolic expression for healing outcomes. Arts therapy is effective in engaging people who may struggle to participate in more traditional ‘talking therapies’ such as children, adolescents, people suffering from trauma, those with disabilities, language difficulties or those from other cultural backgrounds. Expressing oneself through creative activity has been found to assist in the promotion of physical, emotional, cognitive and social integration and functioning. The consequent insights and personal understandings can be instrumental in facilitating change. The course will introduce to you a range of major arts therapy theoretical perspectives and concepts, including expressive arts, multimodal approaches, and humanistic, cognitive and psychoanalytic approaches.
