Our Library

Kutenai Art Therapy Institute has an excellent library and each year a portion of the budget goes toward library acquisitions so that students have the most contemporary information available to them. 

The library resources are current and eclectic.  They include art therapy literature as well as journals, videos and books on psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, outsider art, cross-cultural approaches to healing, symbolism, fairy tales and, of course, mental health and clinical issues.

Our graduate theses listed below are available for reading in the library.
