6th Annual Conference of the Scientific Association of Creative Arts Therapies e.V.
Scientific Association of Creative Arts Therapies e.V. (WFKT)
26.10. - 27.10.2023, Ottersberg
Welcome
Welcome to the congress publications of the 6th annual conference of the German Scientific Association for Arts Therapies (Wissenschaftliche Fachgesellschaft für Künstlerische Therapien, WFKT), which took place on Oct 26th & 27th 2023 at the University of Social Arts in Ottersberg under the theme ‘Participatory research in art therapies’.
In art therapies, a participatory research practice, is often trusted. But what does it mean to conduct participatory research with clients, for better therapy and health-related care? What practices have developed for this in different work contexts? How are research processes designed when people who are directly or indirectly affected by a specific problem or illness are involved?
The annual conference 2023 was dedicated to these questions and future prospects in lectures, poster presentations and exhibitions and accompanied by the pre-conference of the WFKT’s “Young Researchers”.
