Title: "Bad Art Therapist!"
Medium: 8 1/2" x 11" Paper and Pencil

First of all sorry this is side ways I couldn't figure out how to rotate it! Our assignment this week was to draw an unethical situation that an art therapist may get involved in. When I was thinking of what to draw I tried to put myself in the shoes of a client that is seeing an art therapist and I wanted to think of something that would really make me angry if it was done to me; therefore, I drew an art therapist showing a client's artwork to one of their friends and making fun of it. The therapist is on the right and has a speech bubble that reads, "Can you believe what my client drew today!?" and his friend is laughing while saying, "Oh my God, what a freak! Is he retarded or something!?" As an art therapist this is one of the absolute worse things that I think someone could do. To take someone else's work and make fun of that person for something that they made in a session is extremely unethical to me.
