Child Art Psychotherapy 

In 2015 the School launched a two year clinical Post-MSc in Child Art Psychotherapy in order to provide recognition of training and study in this mode of work  over a four year period which included the two year UCD MSc in Child Art Psychotherapy. This UCD programme developed out of the work pioneered by Vera Vasarhelyi in London and developed in the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital. Graduates from the Mater/UCD Child Art Psychotherapy Training Programme (Masters or Higher Diploma) could apply for the 2 year Post MSc Child Art Psychotherapy Training Programme (PMCAPTP).

Trainees who successfully completed the Training Programme were issued with a Certificate of Completion of Clinical Training in Child Art Psychotherapy by The School of Psychotherapy recognising a minimum four years of training on the basis of recognition of the UCD MSC / Higher Diploma.

With a view to the upcoming state regulation of the role of ‘psychotherapist’, trainees in Child Art Psychotherapy can now complete a four-year Professional Masters with UCD. The four-year Professional Masters training in CAP meets the requirements to apply for pre-accredited membership with the Association for Child Art Psychotherapy (ACAP). ACAP is independent of the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP) but has adopted their widely subscribed to Standards for Training in Psychotherapy.
