Art Therapy
Art Therapy, the practice of art making in the presence of a therapist to address emotional and psychological issues, was introduced to Canada in the 1940s and 50s. Today it is a discipline with training institutes across the country. I trained as an art therapist at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute, the first training program in Canada, under its founder, Dr. Martin Fischer (1914-1992).
