Art therapy research that measures the effects of treatment would be located in the scientific knowledge/therapy quadrant because it involves conducting empirical research to evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic intervention. While art therapy itself is an artistic and creative process, research on its therapeutic effects involves using scientific methods to measure the outcomes of its use as a therapeutic intervention. Therefore, it cannot be located in the artistic knowledge/art quadrant or the artistic knowledge/therapy quadrant, as it involves more than just artistic expression or subjective experiences.
