Course Rationale:
In the West, therapies that were based on art forms mostly started from the 1930s, consolidating as drama, music, and art therapy by 1950s/60s. In the brief span from then till now, there are universities offering training, journals, research material, teachers, and various certification bodies.
India is a land of rich cultural heritage and a home to many art forms.
It has a unique diverse culture, philosophy and ancient traditions of the arts in healing. However, this has not been systematically and consistently developed into an indigenous Practice in the contemporary times. ABT bridges that gap. It brings the much-needed artistic language into therapy, while retaining a firm basis in well-researched and scientific understanding of mind and reality.
This course will address the above-mentioned need by equipping the students with newer methods and interventions in the field of healing and arts Based therapy. After completing this course, the students will be able to use these approaches in their personal and therapeutic practice making the process of therapy more meaningful and creative.
