Engages student in a continuation of the field experience undertaken in Internship I. Internship II steadily builds upon initial skills and supports the student toward developing competency in diagnostic formulation and treatment planning; conducting individual and co-developing group art therapy sessions; effective observational, listening, and communication skills, including documentation and presentation; diversity issues; and evaluation of the dynamics of the treatment milieu and the role of art therapy within the setting. Skills development in these areas is steadily promoted through continued on-site clinical supervision. Weekly, individual clinical supervision is provided directly at the internship site by a licensed art therapist (LCPAT) or related licensed mental health professional. On campus, students will benefit from further integration of knowledge and skills during the seminar course taught by art therapy faculty. Prerequisite: ATP-505 and technical standards as evaluated by the Program Director; enrolled in the Graduate Art Therapy Program (MA). Corequisites: ATP-508 and ATP-509 prior to or concurrently.
