Overview

For MPhil and PhD study, you usually register for research by written thesis (although there are also possibilities for research based on a written element and studio practice).

Whatever your topic, you have your first supervisor in Art Psychotherapy and may have your second in another department – Art, Educational Studies, Psychology, or Sociology, for example. You meet your supervisors regularly for discussion and guidance, and present your work to the Art Psychotherapy research student group at the Goldsmiths, University of London. You also attend the Goldsmiths Research Methods Training Course.

Supervision is currently available in the following areas:

art therapists and their art
cross-cultural issues
evidence-based practices
group work
history and development of the professions in the UK and internationally
occupational choice, career development and role change of arts therapists and arts therapy trainees

the creative experience inside and outside an art psychotherapy group
