CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on the Social Activism and Advocacy Paradigm in Art Therapy
As social justice issues are becoming more pronounced in a pluralistic, globalized world, Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association is seeking submissions for a special issue that will examine the on-going evolution of the social activist and advocacy paradigm in the research and practice of art therapy. Where and how is advocacy practiced? What are the essential competencies required of the art therapist change agent? What are the special benefits involved and the challenges that advocates and their co-participants face? How do art therapists manage conflicting goals, expectations, cultural values, and standards of care? Original research that explores these and other questions are invited, as well as practice-oriented papers and viewpoints that contribute to art therapists' professional development.

The deadline for submission is July 15, 2010.

Art Therapy's Ethical Challenges in a Complex World
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association is seeking submissions for a special issue on ethics and professionalism. As art therapists interact with increasingly diverse perspectives and expectations of clients, other professionals, and professional groups and systems, ethical challenges are becoming more complex. The Journal invites submissions that address ethical issues in art therapy research, treatment, theory and practice, and education. Papers, reflections, and original research studies that present models of ethical decision-making applied to the unique practice realities of art therapy and other related professional issues are encouraged.

The deadline for submission is September 15, 2010.
