About Markus Scott-Alexander
Dr. Markus Scott-Alexander, PhD, REAT draws upon decades of interest in the development of the Self and the Self in community.

Markus is one of the first Registered Expressive Arts Therapists and a pioneer in the field of phenomenological, intermodal expressive arts therapy. He was senior faculty at the European Graduate School from 1997 to 2020 under the mentorship of the late Paolo Knill.
