Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal treats creative arts therapy (visual art, music, movement and dance, drama therapy, bibliotherapy, psychodrama) as a regulated paramedical profession. The proposal sets conditions for recognition of a "creative arts therapist" certificate, including requirements for academic studies (a master's degree) or a professional training certificate of a fixed scope, passing examinations and meeting additional conditions. In addition, the proposal grants recognition to holders of existing certificates who completed their studies by December 2018. The proposal amends the Regulation of Practice of Health Professions Law (2008) and the Patient's Rights Law (1996) to add the creative arts therapist to the list of regulated professions and to place on the Ministry of Health responsibility for supervision and regulations for implementation.
