This research attempted to examine the effect a group art therapy has on improving self-esteem, relieving stress and social adaptive capacity for siblings of developmentally disabled children. As a result, a group art has been confirmed to be effective in improving siblings of developmentally disabled children’s self-esteem, reducing stress by decreasing negative feelings about family and improving social adaptive capacity through group process. Therefore, a group art therapy programme can be concluded as being effective in improving self-streem, reducing stress and improving social adaptive capacity.

I am wondering if it is advisable to go ahead and begin with a masters in Art Therapy with an accredited program that prepares you for certification or look elsewhere to major in an alternate counseling program- then supplement later with Art therapy.
Does a masters in Art therapy stand on its own today in the job world? Could I supplement at a later date with graduate certificates from the local state university in MFC?
I welcome any advice or insight into the profession. Thank you so much:)

I’m hoping someone out there can help. I know art therapy is a growing field, and I just learned you can get a bachelors in the program at certain places. What are the odds of getting a job with a bachelors? Or should I just keep trying for my masters?
If I do get a bachelors in art therapy, and decided I want to get my masters at a later date, will I have problems getting into a Program with an art therapy degree? Most of the masters programs I have seen require a BA in education or psychology

Does someone have to get a bachelors degree before getting into an occupational therapy program, or is occupational therapy itself a four year program? I am a college freshman and very interested in occupational therapy. I’m also in love with art, so I would like to somehow combine the two in a major or career….maybe art therapy? Thanks for any answers or suggestions!

I would like honest opinions on which Masters degree program would offer the best potential for decent employment upon graduation?

My current profession is in social work, as a case manager. I am only one class shy of a Masters in Education, but obviously that is irrelevant within my field.

I was a teacher for five years, but taught out of the country and my license became inactive. In lieu of going back into teaching, I decided to make a transition into social work and move into another career.

I want to work as a therapist, dealing with clients on a more personal and detailed level.

Many people have told me that a Masters in Art Therapy is just a "trend" and doesn’t really offer as many job possibilities as the MSW or a Masters in Counseling. I personally believe in Art Therapy, but do need to consider my future and financial situation as well.

I live in the tri-state area of PA, where NJ or NYC is a reasonable commute. I am open to relocating.

I hope that I will get a few serious responses.

Thank you in advance.
