This year's theme is "Art Therapy and Creativity," and through workshops and lectures aligned with clinical practice, we will explore the theory and practice of art therapy. In addition to painting therapy, music therapy, sandplay therapy, psychodrama, and expressive pathology, we will also cover clinical ethics, supervision, and research applications. This will be an opportunity to re-examine what meaning art holds in clinical settings and how it relates to people's expression and creativity.
