As you may know, the Art Therapy Journal transitioned to all-digital format last year. It was a decision that many other academic journals have also made to not only ensure sustainability, but also to make research more accessible. For a limited time, we are making a special PRINTED Collector's Edition of the Art Therapy Journal available for purchase. The Collector’s Edition brings together all four issues from Volume 42 in one printed publication. Priced online at $337, we’re offering this full-volume print edition as a members-only benefit for $30! To reserve your copy, log in to MyAATA and go to the AATA Store. Available until November 30, or until supplies last!
AATA’s Monthly Learning Session, Beyond the Felt Sense, is now on AATA’s Online Learning Academy. The session, led by presenter Kerry Kruk-Borisov, ATR-BC, LPC, MS, examined neurobiological and physiological research related to art therapy and art-making on specific art materials and processes. During the session, Kerry drew from the concluding chapter, which she co-authored, of the 2nd Edition (2024) of Art Therapy and the Neuroscience of Trauma (edited by Juliet King and Christianne Strang).
