Dyadic parent-child art psychotherapy training - Level 1

This is a practical course to help you develop your dyadic art therapy work, whether you are experienced in working dyadically or have never practiced in this way.

What is dyadic parent-child art psychotherapy?

Dyadic parent-child art psychotherapy is a way of working which focuses directly on the child’s primary attachment relationship. The therapist does not become the child’s therapist or the caregiver’s therapist, but the relationship’s therapist.

What you will learn:

The course covers:

  • the rationale for dyadic work
  • three approaches to dyadic work
  • preparing the caregiver
  • considerations for online dyadic work
  • overview and rational
  • reflective art making
  • scenario discussion and role play
  • questions

How you will learn

Learning will be through short presentations from the two trainers, case vignettes, videos, working in break-out groups for discussion, sharing and role play, and reflective art making.

Tutors

Amanda Platt & Katie Wilson

I now have a much better understanding of dyadic work and feel more confident to try this in practice.
