Abstract	The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of technology on art therapists by exploring how art therapists own and use technology and to determine barriers to ownership and use. A survey was conducted at the 2002 annual conference of the American Art Therapy Association in Washington, DC. Of the 250 surveys distributed, 195 were completed and returned, yielding a 78% return rate. The survey asked respondents about their personal, professional, and with-client applications of technology. Participants also responded concerning the barriers they face pertaining to ownership and use of technology. The survey results demonstrated that art therapists own and use a variety of technological devices. Statistically significant differences were found between respondents' use, ownership, and application of technology in the categories of age, professional registration, and education. It was concluded that art therapists as a group are informed about technological devices and their applications. (Author).
