“Creative Arts Therapies” is an inclusive name for healthcare professions that use the creative and expressive process of artmaking to improve and enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being of individuals of all ages. These professions include Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, Drama Therapy, Psychodrama, and Bibliotherapy. The use of arts within psychotherapy bridges verbal barriers and promotes experiential insights because it involves the non-linguistic right hemisphere of the brain.
Creative arts therapists work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, educational institutions, community mental health facilities, prisons, hospices, day-care centers, and private practices. In Israel, the Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies Association (YAHAT) was founded in 1971, and the Ministry of Health has recognized the Creative Arts Therapies as a paramedical profession since 1988.
The University of Haifa campus spreads along a ridge of the Carmel Mountain southeast of the city of Haifa and is surrounded by the Carmel National Park. Over 18,000 students study at the University of Haifa toward a degree (B.A., M.A., or Ph.D.). The University houses six Faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences and Science Education, Law, Social Welfare and Health Studies, and Education - and five Schools - Business Administration, Social Work, History, Public Health, and Political Sciences. The University has a diverse student body, consisting of Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze, new immigrants and native Israelis, secular and religious.
Campus Facilities
The University library, offering computerized services, as well as some two million books and non-book items, is one of the most advanced in the country. The library houses a large collection of both English and Hebrew books, as well as smaller collections of books in other languages. There are computer rooms available throughout the University campus and wireless internet access is widely available. The University Sports Center includes a gym with a variety of aerobic and weightlifting machines, tennis courts, and several large gyms for basketball, volleyball, and other activities.
Research
The Research Authority at The University of Haifa promotes excellence in science and fosters the next generation of scholars and scientists at the University’s various faculties and departments. In this context, the promotion of research-ties with other academic institutions in Israel and abroad are a central pillar of its overall endeavor to enhance the University’s research profile.
Academic Accreditation
