Dyadic art psychotherapy, which routinely involves parents and carers together with the child in sessions, appears to be an important emerging practice. We designed a non-standardised questionnaire to estimate how many art psychotherapists working with children and families adopt a dyadic parent�child approach and what influenced them to do so. Participants were asked about the frequency of involving parents and carers in assessment and therapy, their theoretical influences and their degree of familiarity with related interventions. The majority (60%) of the respondents reported involving parents and carers in art therapy sessions with some degree of frequency.
