AATA would likely oppose using the term art therapist in this case, since in the US art therapist is defined by the specific criteria used to qualify for the ATR license. For example, technically I cannot call myself an art therapist yet because I haven't completed my post graduate hours (to be completed in less than 6 months, I hope!) So...maybe AATA left out the article on purpose? Or, perhaps they didn't hear about the article? Donno.

I'm sure it's extremely healing!
