As the 2023 AATA Conference Program Chair, Carolyn Brown Treadon, PhD, ATR-BC, ATCS, mentioned, the most inspiring part of last month’s conference wasn’t the presentations, but the connection and re-engagement with art therapists from across the country. We want to extend that feeling into the Virtual Conference — and year round!

JOURNAL NEWS
  
Volume 39, Issue 4, of Art Therapy is now available!

As always, AATA members have full access to the entire issue by logging into MyAATA, clicking on Professional Development, and the link to the Journal.  

⇒⇒ Read the issue's Editorial, Antifascist Art Therapy, authored by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jordan Potash.

“Everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” I stared at these words on a wheat-pasted poster accompanied by a stenciled portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who wrote them in his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail. The Washington, DC–based street artist, who goes by the moniker Absurdly Well, generally illustrates modern politicians and leaders. At this moment in July 2022, though, he offered a historic reference as a contemporary warning.
