Extract: "The subject of imagination and the imaginary is as present in my personal life as it is in the art therapy training I underwent from late 2016 to 2018. Starting with the subject of defining art therapy. I had an idea, an image, a vision of what it was for me before entering training, the fruit of my personal experience, some reading and meetings with certified art therapists. Today, I can see the gap between the two. "Through historical and theoretical reference points, what links can be made between the imagination solicited in artistic mediation and art therapy calling on the subject's imagination? Therapeutic effects for one, therapy for the other, can open up a whole range of possibilities for the subject, and the author accompanies you on this journey.

Too sensitive or sensitive enough to be an art therapist? And what if sensitivity, far from being a weakness, was rather a condition, a prerequisite to the exercise of this function. In her final study, the author retraces her journey through clinical experiences and her research work, discovering over time to what extent this sensitivity can be a great strength if accepted and well managed. Ethics, framework and supervision, among other things, are all essential elements in the practice of the profession. Excerpt: "The art therapist does not dive into the session with the subject. This is important in order not to stick to what the subject says or does, in order to put some distance between him or herself and his or her own affects. The art therapist proposes another space of time, an elsewhere. It is not a social space. He welcomes the subject in his singularity and invites him by stimulating his psychic creativity (...). It invites the subject to "go to meet the other but in oneself and proposes an opening towards the subject of the unconscious".
