Art Therapy’s Social Media History
The field of art therapy’s social media history is a lot older than you think! I started presenting about art therapy and cyberspace in 1995; I officially started writing about it for publication in 1996 and in 2000, Art Therapy and Computer Technology: A Virtual Studio of Possibilities was published by Jessica Kingsley/London. In Chapters 1 and 3 in that book I compiled what was known about « electronic communication » and art therapists, a precursor to what eventually became known as « social media » in the 21st century. Here are some of those earliest publications for download and use in your own research citations about art therapy, digital communication and and social media. ~~ Cathy Malchiodi, PhD
