Pratt’s Graduate Department of Creative Arts Therapy is one of the oldest graduate creative arts therapy training programs in the country. Students learn art and dance/movement therapy skills as applied to a wide variety of patient populations. Settings and situations include psychiatric inpatient and outpatient, substance abuse, geriatric, special education, families, therapeutic nurseries, after-school programs, medical rehabilitation, Child Life, AIDS, the homeless,physical/sexual abuse, eating disorders, and prevention/wellness.
M.P.S. in Art Therapy and Creativity Development and M.S. in Dance/Movement Therapy
These programs provide a synthesis of creative, aesthetic, and psychotherapeutic theory. Courses offer a thorough theoretical framework that is then translated into personal and practical application through an experiential process. Artwork and/or movement is done in every course and is used to learn therapeutic skills. Students focus on a wide variety of populations and are required to work with a different population for each of the two years of internship/practicum. Both programs are for students who want a broad body of skills, balanced with a strong theoretical framework.
M.P.S. in Art Therapy—Special Education
The program is intended to train art therapists who want to work with special education populations, not as art teachers. The degree does not qualify students for a teaching license. Classes are the same as for other art therapy students. The main differences are: 1. in both years of the practicum experience students must work with special education populations; 2. distinct readings are given in some classes; and, 3. papers and case presentations center on a special education population.
Spring/Summer Intensive Program
The Spring/Summer Intensive program is based on an adult learning model. The program is designed for those students who do not live near an established program or are not able to relocate to New York City, owing to professional or personal commitments. This format also suits students in New York City who have to maintain their employment.
Students attend classes for a total of five weeks a year. The cycle of classes is as follows: Students take one class (during one week) in mid-March in New York. During the last week of June, they take another class (during one week), also in New York. During the first three weeks of July, students take three courses (over three weeks) in New Hampshire.
