New Video: Art Therapy in Special Education: The Brief History of the Henry Street School

The New York State Department of Education has chosen to use this video as an informational piece on their website, for people inquiring about the uses of creative art therapy in various settings.

Professor Robert Irwin Wolf, Clinical Director of the Henry Street School from 1973-1980, along with Dr. Beth Gonzalez-Dolginko, discuss the integration of creative art therapy within the educational structure of this unique school serving students with a wide range of learning disabilities. The pioneering work using Polaroid cameras with inner city children led to the development of the therapeutic use of photography. Professor Wolf, upon joining the faculty of the College of New Rochelle in 1980,  used this foundation to expand his research in clinical applications which has now further expanded into the current clinical field of Phototherapy.
