Education
Art therapy has formed as a part of the study program at the Department of Curative Education at the Faculty of Education, Comenius University in Bratislava since 1967. However, after the start of ‘Normalization’, it was interrupted for twenty years. The painter Roland Hanus was the first university teacher who, along with a Slovak music therapy pioneer, Zlatica Mátejová, developed texts on art therapy techniques in 1984. After the „velvet revolution“ in former Czechoslovakia Jaroslava Šicková- Fabrici sculptor and art therapist has significantly contributed to its establishment in Slovakia in 1991.
Art therapy is taught as one of the subjects for six terms and ends with the state exam in art therapy.
Although the profession “ art therapist” is not recognized in Slovakia, postgraduate study program
( PhD ) in art education and art therapy exists. Since 1991 more than 14 doctor degree students have graduated in art therapy. Since 2000 the organization Terra therapeutica, as well as since 2010 the Institute for Education in art therapy provide 260 hours training for experts from helping professions as e.g. special and healing educators, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists and other specialists. The theoretical background of the training is in theoretical and practical issues involved in Spiritual-ecologic existential art therapy ( SEEA Šicková, 1984). Since 2013, the Institute provides also short term supervision.
There are also few more other organisations as Artea, Facilitas, Alternativa who offer short terms courses and trainings in art therapy in Slovakia.
