Description of each CAT discipline.

CATs discipline	Description
Art therapy (AT)	Uses a spectrum of 2- and 3- dimensional structured and unstructured visual art media (e.g., pencils, paints, chalk, crayons, found objects, clay, fabrics, etc.), within a psychotherapeutic relationship with an art therapist. The art therapist facilitates non-verbal and verbal self-expression and reflection through the process of art making and the resulting artwork.
Dance movement therapy (DMT)	Employs dance and movement as a way into and a means of therapy, within a psychotherapeutic relationship, with the goal of promoting physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual integration of individuals. It is based on the premise of the interconnection of body and mind.
Drama therapy (DT) and psychodrama (PD)	DT involves the intentional use of drama and theater processes such as embodiment, dramatic projection, improvisation, role-play, and performance to facilitate physiological, psychological, and social change. PD uses guided role-play and specific techniques to explore clients' personal and interpersonal problems and possible solutions. While both operate in a dramatic reality, in DT the story and characters are mostly imaginary, symbolic, and fantasy-based, whereas in PD they are mostly reality-based.
Music therapy (MT)	Uses music and its properties (e.g., melody, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, pitch), as well as song writing, improvisation, and singing within a therapeutic relationship to optimize clients' quality of life and improve their physical, social, communicative, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health and well-being. MT can involve active music making and/or receptive music listening, according to the client's needs.
Poetry/biblio therapy (P/BT)	Uses written language, poetry writing and reading, expressive writing, journal writing, as well as story writing and reading within a therapeutic relationship.
