Creative Arts Therapies – Episode 3 – Clients and Settings

This four-part series, produced in partnership with the Australian New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA) and hosted by clinical psychologist, Professor Mark Creamer, explores the practice of creative arts therapy.

In episode three, Mark is joined by Tilly Dawson, an art therapist working in oncology, and Kirsty Greene, an art therapist with a background in nursing and somatic movement facilitation.

Together they discuss the different populations and cohorts of people that creative arts therapists work with; working with clients over short and long periods of time and across the lifespan.

They cover the range of settings in which art therapists practice; how they collaborate and add value to interdisciplinary teams of mental health practitioners, as well as how the perception and understanding of the field has changed over time.
