Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:01 29 November 2016 Using Art Media in Psychotherapy Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:01 29 November 2016 Using Art Media in Psychotherapy Using Art Media in Psychotherapy makes a thoughtful and contextual argument for using graphic art materials in psychotherapy, providing historical context for art materials and their uses and incorporating them with contemporary practices and theories. Written with an analytic focus, many of the psychological references nod to Jung and post-Jungian thought with keen attention to image and to sym- bolic function. This book jettisons the idea of reductionist, cookbook approaches and instead provides an integrated and contextual understanding of the origins of each art form as well as an insightful use for each in its application in mental health healing practices. Using Art Media in Psychotherapy gives clinicians and students alike the tools they need to offer psychologically minded and clinically astute choices that honor their clients. Michelle L. Dean, MA, is the cofounder of the Center for Psyche & the Arts (www.psychearts.org). She is a board-certifi ed art therapist, a licensed profes- sional counselor, and a certifi ed group psychotherapist. In her clinical practice, she provides a warm and compassionate approach in which to explore and heal. She is also a clinical supervisor and an esteemed, nationally recognized educa- tor and consultant. Her work has been recognized through many distinguished awards and several interviews in print, radio, and television. Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:01 29 November 2016 “With this book, Michelle Dean has added her voice to an ever-growing chorus of art therapists, counselors, and psychotherapists who are committed to including art making in the complex process of psychotherapy. Dean avoids the temptation to provide easy, prescriptive tasks that inevitably lead to superfi cial incorpora- tion, opting instead for a much deeper and richer discussion of the art process in psychotherapy that is quite literally beyond the bounds of linear discursive language.” Bruce L. Moon, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM, LPC, professor of art therapy at Mount Mary University “ Using Art Media in Psychotherapy offers us the depth of meaning that comes through the lens of historical example, and welcomes back the voice of soul in art psychotherapy. I am delighted to use this both with students and on my own; it is a text that infuses art therapy intervention with the richness offered by engage- ment with mystery.” Abbe Miller, MS, ATR-BC, LPC, director of the graduate art therapy program and associate professor in the department of psychology at Albertus Magnus College “Michelle Dean delivers invigorating, contemporary scholarship with Using Art Media in Psychotherapy . She masterfully fuses psychotherapeutic theory to refl ec- tive practices within sacred myth and symbol. The clinical and media examples describe an epic of evolution for the nuanced use of crafted materials. This book regenerates lacuna between art and psychotherapy, between activated imagi- nation and meaningful care of the soul. Will art therapists enact venturesome journeys from positivistic worlds to the phenomenological shores of ‘integrating things anew’?” Natalie Rae Carlton, PhD, art therapy educator “This thoughtful addition to the literature of art therapy elucidates the roots of visual imagery via a cultural framework that includes aesthetics, mythology, ico- nography, religion, and philosophy within an analytic approach. Michelle Dean’s refreshing contribution, at times elegantly crafted, will be useful not only for the beginning clinician but will enliven the thinking of the professional. Detailed and easy-to-follow descriptions of art materials and art interventions are generously offered.” Elizabeth Stone Matho, MA, ATR-BC, LP, LCAT, psychoanalyst, art therapist in private practice, and faculty at the Ecole de Psychologues Praticiens in Lyon, France Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:01 29 November 2016 “This is an extremely well-written and comprehensive text that describes the use of media and methods of application while elucidating the value of imagery as an active and integral component of psychotherapy. Michelle Dean beautifully syn- thesizes historical artistic expression with philosophy, psychology, myth, culture, and the processes of creativity while maintaining the integrity of the therapeutic relationship in the description of sound clinical interventions.” Juliet King, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, director art therapy, assistant professor, Herron School of Art and Design, IUPUI Using Art Media in Psychotherapy Bringing the Power of Creativity to Practice Michelle L.

  • THE ART of DREAMING by Carlos Castaneda
    THE ART OF DREAMING By Carlos Castaneda [Version 1.1 - Originally scanned, proofed and released by BELTWAY ] [If you correct any errors, please increment the version number and re-release.] AUTHOR'S NOTE: Over the past twenty years, I have written a series of books about my apprenticeship with a Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. I have explained in those books that he taught me sorcery but not as we understand sorcery in the context of our daily world: the use of supernatural powers over others, or the calling of spirits through charms, spells, or rituals to produce supernatural effects. For don Juan, sorcery was the act of embodying some specialized theoretical and practical premises about the nature and role of perception in molding the universe around us. Following don Juan's suggestion, I have refrained from using shamanism, a category proper to anthropology, to classify his knowledge. I have called it all along what he himself called it: sorcery. On examination, however, I realized that calling it sorcery obscures even more the already obscure phenomena he presented to me in his teachings. In anthropological works, shamanism is described as a belief system of some native people of northern Asia-prevailing also among certain native North American Indian tribes-which maintains that an unseen world of ancestral spiritual forces, good and evil, is pervasive around us and that these spiritual forces can be summoned or controlled through the acts of practitioners, who are the intermediaries between the natural and supernatural realms. Don Juan was indeed an intermediary between the natural world of everyday life and an unseen world, which he called not the supernatural but the second attention.

A total of 29 participants participated in this study (art therapy program group, n = 18; control group, n = 11). The art therapy program group received eight weekly sessions of art therapy lasting 60 min each. Pre- and post-test results showed positive changes in the brain function index and stress levels of the participants in the art therapy program group. On the self-esteem scale, overall and social self-esteem increased significantly. In conclusion, creative activities in the forest can increase resistance to diseases through mechanisms that relieve stress and increase self-esteem. If art therapy that emphasizes somatosensory experience, creative expression, Citation: Kang, S.-J.; Kim, H.-S.; and self-motivation is accompanied by forest activities, this combined intervention can elicit positive Baek, K.-H.

The inclusion of art making in therapy is the vital difference between psychotherapy and art therapy. Whilst this may appear obvious, it is easy to become lost in the similarities of the two therapies and confuse about the differences. Although some art therapists still choose to use varying degrees of verbal interaction with their patients, the role of the image and the process of art making are the key factors in art therapy. To an onlooker there may appear little difference between art therapy and an art activity conducted by another health professional, teacher or artist. The distinguishing components are the purpose for which the art is being created and the thinking and understanding on the part of the therapist.

  • Sentimental Appropriations: Contemporary Sympathy In
    SENTIMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS: CONTEMPORARY SYMPATHY IN THE NOVELS OF GRACE LUMPKIN, JOSEPHINE JOHNSON, JOHN STEINBECK, MARGARET WALKER, OCTAVIA BUTLER, AND TONI MORRISON Jennifer A. Williamson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Linda Wagner-Martin William L. Andrews Philip Gura Fred Hobson Wahneema Lubiano © 2011 Jennifer A. Williamson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JENNIFER A. WILLIAMSON: Sentimental Appropriations: Contemporary Sympathy in the Novels of Grace Lumpkin, Josephine Johnson, John Steinbeck, Margaret Walker, Octavia Butler, and Toni Morrison (Under the direction of Linda Wagner-Martin) This project investigates the appearance of the nineteenth-century American sentimental mode in more recent literature, revealing that the cultural work of sentimentalism continues in the twentieth-century and beyond. By examining working-class literature that adopts the rhetoric of “feeling right” in order to promote a proletarian ideology as well as neo-slave narratives that wrestle with the legacy of slavery, this study explores the ways contemporary authors engage with familiar sentimental tropes and ideals. Despite modernism’s influential assertion that sentimentalism portrays emotion that lacks reality or depth, narrative claims to feeling— particularly those based in common and recognizable forms of suffering—remain popular. It seems clear that such authors as Grace Lumpkin, Josephine Johnson, John Steinbeck, Margaret Walker, Octavia Butler, and Toni Morrison apply the rhetorical methods of sentimentalism to the cultural struggles of their age. Contemporary authors self-consciously struggle with sentimentalism’s gender, class, and race ideals; however, sentimentalism’s dual ability to promote these ideals and extend identification across them makes it an attractive and effective mode for political and social influence.

Vahtang Mark Shervashidze 1 ABSTRACT The history of the labyrinth in Western thought is intimately connected with the development of Christianity and the philosophical movements associated with it. Roughly speaking, the labyrinth has passed through three periods of development. First, there were the Minoan and Greek sources of the Theseus cycle, which are the foundation of 1abyrinth-1 ore. The Greeks also provided the analogical structure which allowed the labyrinth to expand its repertoire of metaphor beyond mythology into literature. Secondly, perhaps due to the renascence of classical literature in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the labyrinth enjoyed some popularity in France and Italy. Here we must distinguish between purely conceptual, literary labyrinths and the artifactual examples which dot cathedral and church floors across the lie de France and Italy.
