Discussion 8: Where do art therapists practice? - 2 What setting were you most surprised to see served by art therapists? Why? Least surprised? Why? Do you think there are settings that are more or le

Sample 1：

In art therapy, I wasn't really surprised by any of the settings served. I think I was most intrigued by prisons and such because in the video the art therapist said he mostly worked in a psychiatric facility of a prison. When he said that it kind of clicked in my brain that it wasn't that surprising, since I had already learned about art therapists serving patients in a hospital psychiatric setting. I think I was least surprised by hospital settings and private practices. I think this is because hospitals are where people go to receive help and get better, so it made sense that art therapists would serve in this setting. As I said in my post last week, I don't think there is any one setting that will benefit more than another, I think it all has to do with the person and how willing they are to actually receive the help and make progress.

Sample 2:

The setting that most surprised me to see served by art therapists was the forensic institutions and senior communities. Forensic institutions surprised me because I was curious how could art therapists benefit from being in a forensic institution and then I thought about it and it makes sense they would want further their continuing education and provide an excellent experience which they could learn at a forensic institution.

The least setting to surprise me were private practices and hospitals because when I think of art threapy I think about where that kind of therapy would benefit most people and hospitals and private practices make the most sense in my opinion. I believe all the settings that were listed are useful and some are not more or less beneficial than others or else they wouldn't provide those services there.
