Unnur Óttarsdóttir
Dr Unnur Ottarsdottir has worked in a preschool, secondary schools and a high school as a teacher, special education teacher and art therapist. She is a part-time art therapy lecturer at the Iceland University of the Arts and at the continuing education department of the University of Akureyri. She is also a practising researcher at the Reykjavik Academy.
Unnur has practised art therapy in various institutions and in her private practice for 30 years. She runs an art therapy clinic in Iceland, specialising in treatment for children and adults dealing with traumatisation and specific learning difficulties. Her areas of research are art therapy in education for children with specific learning difficulties who have experienced trauma, and art making as a therapeutic and learning approach, including drawing for memorisation and emotional processing.
Unnur has given lectures and written chapters and articles about art therapy and memory drawing which have been published internationally.
Unnur conducted a research study into long-term memory of drawings and words. This is the first time that comparisons between drawn images and written words over such an extended period of time has been studied worldwide.
