Creative Arts Therapy Research
Innovative Research: Current and Future Research Interests
Creative Art Therapists at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital are committed to ongoing education in the art therapy and music therapy profession. They remain up-to-date with current treatment models and standards of practice. We expect that our studies will lead to further contributions to the fields of clinical art therapy and music therapy practice and research while continuing to distinguish the uniqueness of our profession, particularly within the pediatric medical setting.
