“…Articles have been written about possible uses of technology within art therapy (Malchiodi, 2000;McNiff, 1999;Parker-Bell, 1999) and have discussed potential benefits and drawbacks for technology use. As a field, art therapy is also in the process of exploring the unique nature of technology-based art tools and is trying to determine its therapeutic components (Hartwich & Brandecker, 1993;Johnson, 1987;McLeod, 1999).…”

The focus of this study was art therapy students' and professionals' perceptions of their preparedness to understand and deal with technology as an art media and work tool within the practice of art therapy. To study the need for training in technology, surveys were sent to 177 current art therapy students and practicing art therapists resulting in a 32.2% return rate. The survey targeted American Art Therapy Association (AATA) members who were either current students or practicing art therapists. Credentialed professionals and students were randomly selected from the AATA membership directory. Questions focused on current use of technology (defined as computers and accessories, the internet, and digital-based tools) within art therapy practice, current and past training in technology use, the quality of that training, ideas about training needs, and demographic data. The findings of the questionnaire showed that those who responded had little formal training but in general were using technology in their practices. This points to a need for looking further at what types of training would best meet art therapists' needs and how best to accomplish this.

“…Many art therapists have found that computers and DIT have benefits over traditional practices (Malchiodi, 1999(Malchiodi, , 2000McNiff, 1999;Parker-Bell, 1999). Technology is influencing the way art therapists archive artwork, record progress notes, communicate with each other, provide services for individuals living in rural communities, provide art production adaptations for disabled persons, and produce their own artwork.…”

“…Barbara Parker-Bell (1999) wrote about the possibilities associated with the use of computers for art therapy. Her article considered the notion that computers may be underutilized because many art therapists are not educated in the operation of computer hardware and software related to graphic design.…”

The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of technology on art therapists by exploring how art therapists own and use technology and to determine barriers to ownership and use. A survey was conducted at the 2002 annual conference of the American Art Therapy Association in Washington, DC. Of the 250 surveys distributed, 195 were completed and returned, yielding a 78% return rate. The survey asked respondents about their personal, professional, and with-client applications of technology. Participants also responded concerning the barriers they face pertaining to ownership and use of technology. The survey results demonstrated that art therapists own and use a variety of technological devices. Statistically significant differences were found between respondents' use, ownership, and application of technology in the categories of age, professional registration, and education. It was concluded that art therapists as a group are informed about technological devices and their applications.
