FECAT Foundation course in Expressive & Creative Art Therapies

The healing nature of creative arts has been known for centuries. However, the use of arts in therapeutic settings was first organized much later in the 1930s using theories proposed by Sigmund Freud & Carl Jung.

Arts in therapy go beyond diagnosis and prognosis. Arts in therapy are truly about living the human experience.
