The inaugural International Art Therapy Practice/Research Conference held in London, July 11 -13, welcomed over 700 attendees from more than 35 countries. AATA President Christianne Strang, PhD, ATR-BC comments on the conference:
I am proud and excited to have been part of this inaugural research and practice conference held in collaboration with the British Association of Art Therapists. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to meet and speak with art therapists from such diverse backgrounds, and I was completely impressed by depth and breadth of the research and practice occurring throughout the world. The future of art therapy is indeed bright!

Who benefits and how from research? What does it mean to be critical, grounded and socially engaged in #arttherapyresearch? Is your research question really what is needed right now? -Lynn Kapitan … also familiar questions in #globalmentalhealth #ArtTherapyIntConf #arttherapy pic.twitter.com/6iSjlP4sve
