About CAET

Overview
Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (CAET) – East, West and Global Perspectives is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary dialogue and practice across the fields of creative arts, therapy, education, and health.
Founded in 2015 by Dr. Tony Yu Zhou, with the support of Professor Shaun McNiff, a leading figure and pioneer in the field of expressive arts therapy, CAET brings together diverse perspectives from across cultures and disciplines, with a particular emphasis on bridging Eastern and Western approaches.
Following its foundational phase under the guidance of Professor Shaun McNiff, CAET entered a new stage of development from 2021, with the appointment of a co-editorial team to support the journal’s continued growth. This transition reflects an expansion of the journal’s international scope and interdisciplinary engagement, while maintaining its original vision of integrating creative arts, education, therapy, and health across diverse cultural contexts.
