This blog is amazing. So, question time. I am currently switching from psych to art after figuring out I have no drive to work for a grad degree in psychology, write a dissertation, and no money. However, I absolutely love the field and am seriously considering going into art therapy (which requires a BFA and the equivalent of a psych minor). I've already looked into grad programs, but would love additional advice schooling wise, and any additional insight into this area. Thanks, and great job!

I’ll open this up to my followers!  I don’t know much about art therapy, personally. One of my cohort mates has a degree in art and is pursuing her PhD in Clinical Psychology. I think she wants to explore Art Therapy down the road!

There are associations for Art Therapy, so you might want to start looking there for program suggestions and stuff. :)

Followers, any suggestions? :D
