Peer Review Training

A key task of the British Association of Art Therapists is to act as the learned society for the profession and the International Journal of Art Therapy: Inscape is the primary record of this activity. The validity of what appears in the journal rests on sound peer review with the BAAT membership forming the basis of that peer system. The development of art therapy theory that is truly representative of contemporary practice rests on the widest possible involvement of BAAT members. Since the last AGM, the BAAT Council has started to implement changes in the structures of Inscape to ensure a robust Peer Review system which draws on the experience and resources of the whole of the BAAT membership.

To ensure that the quality peer review is high, the next ATPRN symposium is given over to training for Peer Review. The symposium is open to all BAAT members as per normal: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AN EXISTING ATPRN MEMBER TO ATTEND. It is exciting that the ATPRN will help form the first wave of practitioners to participate in this training as their clinical expertise and interest in research will be invaluable for this task. This is an opportunity to ensure that the best and most innovative aspects of our practice are published within our professional journal. The day is offered at a low fee and will count as a certified CPD activity.
