AATA National Office As we prepare to head into the next decade, we’d like to take this opportunity to take stock and reflect on what we have accomplished collectively as a profession in this 50th year of our association’s life. We’ve made remarkable gains in legislative goals and public awareness for the profession as well as significant improvements and expansions in membership experience and programmatic offerings
AATA National Office As 2019 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you to each and every member for making our 50th anniversary year a success! Please scroll through some highlights from our celebration including a collaborative video, testimonials of support, and photos from conference and social media.
  
Barbara Fish, PhD, ATR-BC, ATCS, LCPC, 2019 Honorary Life Member "My advice for the next generation of art therapists is the same as the advice that was given to me. Use the tools that you offer to others to guide your own path. By employing our own creative process as a resource in our lives, we can understand the personal challenges and rewards of self-investigation. Without our ongoing personal practice, our requests for client involvement in image making can fall flat. I encourage art therapists to use their imaginations to explore, expanding the potential and public awareness of art therapy."
AATA National Office We invite you to submit a proposal to present at the American Art Therapy Association's 51st Annual Conference to be held in Washington, DC, October 29 to November 1, 2020.

Art Therapy in the NewsIndiand University Eileen Misluk, an assistant professor at the Herron School of Art and Design and director of the art therapy program, hears students talk through the challenges they face while working and interning as art therapists. Students often ask how they can help clients who potentially have eating disorders or eating-related issues. As a result, Misluk developed a training program on how to identify these clients and work with them.
