Educational
Training.
Before being
accepted to the educational training, students must parttake in a pre
selection. Their affinity and competency in the medium is assessed for
the following modalities:
In the course
of the educational training students will learn about:
-
the medium
of their choice (drama, art, music or psychomotor movement);
-
psychology
and pathology in various forms of human behaviour;
-
their role
as a therapist to support changes or improve quality of life.
The 4-year
training for Creative Arts Therapist can be taken on a full-time basis
or as a part-time course. The training for Psychomotor/movement Therapy
is only available on a full-time basis at this time.
First year – Preparation. The first year training is arranged
according to five competenties a therapist needs to have (indicating,
designing a treatment plan, executing a treatment plan, research and
innovation and functioning in a professional organisation). In the first
year, students of Creative Arts & Psychomotor/movement Therapy
experience the power of their medium. By discovering their own skills
and making their own experiences in their medium, the students learn to
distinguish therapeutic qualities. Students are also trained in
communication- and therapeutic skills as well as in psychopathology. The
aquired knowledge is practiced in simulated therapy settings such as
performance assessments. A short internship allows the student to
familiarize him or herself with some practical work.
Second, third, fourth year – Main Study. The student increases
competence concerning theoretical knowledge, personal insight and
practical skills. Throughout the training the student will experience
his or her own strengths and weaknesses and learn to work with them
accordingly. In this main phase of the course, the student learns to
increase his or her professional attitude as Creative Arts & Psychomotor/movement
Therapist in the educational as well as in a practical setting. One year
of the course, the student works as an intern four days a week with the
support of a supervisor. The student also carries out a research project
in a high quality professional setting. The student choses a minor to
deepen or expand competencies. In this main phase of the studies, the
student specialises knowledge and skills according to his or her own
interests, or future professional opportunities.
