Art-Based Supervision: In Person and at a Distance

Hosted by Illinois Art Therapy Association


Art based supervision adds a useful component to supervisory work by adding image-based information and feedback to verbal discourse. 


The advent of Covid 19 has challenged therapists and supervisors to stretch old skills and embrace new ones. Distance work is a challenge for many of us.


With masks and technology as helpful but challenging impediments to our interaction, we may turn to response art as a fully expressed form of communication. Just as images support clients as they investigate their issues and explore their choices, response art used in supervision can help both supervisees and supervisors address countertransference, conceptualize treatment and clarify other interpersonal and systemic dynamics in treatment. 


Workshop participants will create response art and written reflections to explore and clarify their work as art therapists, supervises, and supervisors.
