Trusting the
[creative] process
is based on a belief
that something valuable
will emerge when we
step into the unknown.
There are elements
of surrender and letting
go which have more
to do with flexibility
and the ability to
change direction,
than with defeat and
annihilation (McNiff,
1998, p. 27).

In addition to its Art Therapy Education Program, CCAT provides
professional support and career development opportunities for
creative arts therapists. Membership and volunteer programs offer
opportunities for community service.
Through experiential in-service presentations, conferences,
workshops, art exhibits, publications and community events, CCAT
works to inform the public, business and civic leaders about the
many benefits of the creative arts therapies.
Members are encouraged to publish
their work on our site, which
may then be used by the community
for research purposes. All work
is copyrighted by the authors.
When I see children in our after
school programs being quiet and
working intensely on their art
project I am reminded of the quality
of play that children bring when
doing their own art work. Though
some children need the interaction
of others and desire companionship,
others become so engrossed that
they are quiet the whole hour.
One such hour a girl I will call
