JIPATT is a program that aims to provide the opportunity for individuals to acquire an art therapist training certificate from the Canadian International Institution of Art Therapy “CiiAT” recognized by the Canadian Art Therapy Association “CATA”, whithout leaving Japan.
In 2014, Quest Institute became affiliated with CiiAT (Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy) and established Japan International Program of Art Therapy in Tokyo (JIPATT).
The JIPATT curriculum affiliated with CiiAT in Canada aims to develop human resources who are able to offer their skills they learn, through art therapy knowledge of an international standard and to increase the spread of art therapy in Japan.
The spread of art therapy will contribute to improve the quality of mental health care for subjects in the area of welfare and within medical care in Japan. We also believe that art therapy will be proposed as a new modality of care for preventive medicine within education, industry, and clinical psychology.
In 2014, the first graduating class started and has continued to gain field experience in placements such as clinics, pediatric units, psychiatric units, palliative care units, geriatric facilities, and free schools. The population such placements serve are those with down syndrome, children with developmental disorders such as autism, truant middle school students, mental health patients with disorders such as depression, as well as adult survivors of domestic violence.
Without only relying on medicinal or dialogue based approaches, art therapy can be a non verbal modality that has two different approaches; an approach utilizing the therapeutic power of art itself and a psychodynamic dialogue centered approach.
Such methodologies have been recognized in Canada, America, and Europe as well as Korea and Thailand * a significantly effective modality for those who are in need of mental health care.
In Japan, Parliament finally established the bill for the national licensing for psychotherapy in 2015. We can therefore conclude that preparations are being made to wholeheartedly engage in mental health care, as a country.
Vast clinical experience and extensive knowledge of psychotherapy is necessary in order to actively participate in the field of medicine and education. The only program that offers art therapy education of an international standard is JIPATT.
Therefore one can learn the “clinical art therapy” program while maintaining the current lifestyle, without having to study abroad.
