How to search:

• In EBSCOhost databases, clicking the "Peer Reviewed" box will limit your search to "scholarly" or "academic" articles.
• Type a few keywords in the search box. Choose the words or phrases that best represent your research question or topic.
• Use the limiter options to narrow down your results list (limit the date range, source type, etc.).

Finding the article itself (an abstract is a summary, not a source!):

• Many articles are in full text; PDF format is best.
• In EBSCOhost, the "Access Options" and "Access Now" buttons will link you to the full text.
• If we do not have full-text access to an article you need, check our Publication Finder (the "Browse Journal Titles" tab on the library website) to see if we subscribe in print or a different database. If we don't have a subscription, you may request the article through interlibrary loan.

To find a specific journal, such as The Arts in Psychotherapy, search for it in our Full Text Finder tool. Full Text Finder will link you to the appropriate database or will tell you where to find it if it is in the print periodicals collection downstairs in the Learning Commons.

In addition to our online collections, we offer key art therapy journals in print.  The following titles are available for all listed years in our print journal collection, located in the O'Hara Room on the ground floor of the Learning Commons:

American Journal of Art Therapy  1974-1989 (1990-2002 available electronically)

Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association  1986-1996 (1983-present available electronically)

Arts in Psychotherapy  1979-1994 (1995-present available electronically)
