ICAPT (CNWL NHS Foundation Trust) & Pratt Institute

ICAPT

Our training centre was established to build upon the excellence of arts psychotherapies clinical expertise to offer training for evidence-based models more widely. The aim of the centre is to provide a better experience for patients where interventions are guided but not prescriptive and are informed by the latest research without losing the intuition and innovation of which arts psychotherapists are capable. The priorities of the centre are to: Offer training in mentalisation-based arts psychotherapies, interpersonal arts psychotherapies, interventions for psychosis; Develop clinical research relating to arts psychotherapies within mental health services; Build an international community through our internships and placement schemes. This is the first centre of its kind, accessible to all arts psychotherapists with a focus on evidence-based practice for clinical groups and will help to offer a way forward for arts psychotherapists starting out in mental health or in the midst of changing their clinical focus.
