Art Therapy in Mexico, Summer Program
The Graduate Department of Marital and Family Therapy at Loyola Marymount University has established a collaborative program with the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico designed to broaden the experiences of LMU students with art therapy training in the arts, language and culture of Mexico.
While obtaining a masters degree in Marital and Family Therapy at LMU, students are strongly encouraged to
attend the summer program at which they are able to fulfill degree requirements and broaden their appreciation for Mexican culture.
The intercultural learning is enriched by the inclusion of Mexican students participating in an LMU-sponsored certificate program in art therapy at the Universidad Iberoamericana.
A limited number of students currently enrolled in AATA-approved art therapy programs and who have finished at least one year of study are welcome to attend. We are offering a one week course in Family Art Therapy, a one week course in Multiculturalism and Art Therapy and a one week course exploring the area of Queretaro, investigating the indigenous arts of the area from an art therapy perspective. Students may enroll in one, two or all three of the classes but must enroll in the Multiculturalism class (second week) if they intend to join the field trip (third week). All our classes are structured to include dialogue between American and Mexican psychotherapists.
Finally, a limited number of licensed mental health professionals interested in obtaining continuing education units may enroll in the Family Art Psychotherapy course offered the first week.
