In 1967, as a senior staff member of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the Family/Child Department of Psychiatry, she introduced the arts therapy modality for diagnosis and treatment. In 1974 the position of Coordinator of Art Psychotherapy was designated for her and she still serves in that capacity to this day. Darcy Lubbers is in private practice in Berverly Hills, California, working with individuals with a wide variety of presenting problems. She has had extensive experience in the treatment of eating disorders, and as early as 1982, she instituted art therapy as part of a treatment program at the Woodview Calabasas Psychiatric Hospital, Los Angeles. |
