Don Jones, the first art therapist at the Menninger Clinic, was on a committee that helped to formalize the birth of the American Art Therapy Association in 1969. He later served as the 4th President of AATA. At Menninger's he trained Robert Ault and Charles Anderson; at Harding Hospital he mentored Bruce Moon. As a conscientious objector, Don's message was: "Make Art, Not War." A talented painter and sculptor, Don believed that in order to be an effective art therapist, you needed to be, first and foremost, a practicing artist.
