SIGNED: ___________________________ 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I decided to get a PhD in expressive therapies, after working for many years in a research hospital. I was surrounded by people who were trying to understand why illness develops, how it is treated and how medicine impacts the psychological well being of people who are ill. I wanted to partake in this venture to help those who were not art therapists better understand how art therapy worked as an effective clinical method of support and treatment to those with emotional and physical illness. A wise women in my department told me that some people get PhD’s to increase personal status, in order to teach, or some because they truly believe in a topic and want to understand it better. I fall into the last category. The act of art making has shaped both my career as an art therapist and my innate characteristics as an artist. Making art, while involving skills, is the embodiment of conceptual and communication in which a product of some sort is the result. Art making and the art therapist’s identity has always been a magical yet uncomfortable layering. The finalized identity of the art therapists is ever changing and never static. Sometimes that identity in its entirety is present, and at other times it is a fractious struggle to understand how each component creates to whole. Not unlike a dissertation, where one or two thoughts go through a process of construction and deconstruction, until all the pieces reconnect and become a final product. The product in the end looks professional and as finished as a sculpture on a pedestal. What is not visible is the tangled knot of threads, the struggle to connect pieces, the behind the scenes show and how it all comes together on stage as a dissertation. 5 A dissertation is only a partial fulfillment of tasks leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy. The developmental components of a Doctoral Degree may appear simple on paper but in actuality it is a materialization of intellectual, emotional, professional, clinical and personal efforts. Multiple supports are in place or develop along the way, some are surprises and others are of strong foundations. It is here that I would like to acknowledge and thank those who have supported me on this journey. My special thanks to my dear friend Anne, who many years ago began the journey of art therapy with me at Hofstra University. Anne told me I was Kramer-esque in my approach and I whole-heartedly disagreed at the time. I doubted myself as an artist and had concerns that the therapist and artist would conflict somehow, as if one needed to trust the other. As my own professional identity developed, and that complex magical vortex of space that art therapy becomes, I realized, Anne was correct. Introducing my adolescent clients to artistic expression in the context of therapy, I rely on my artists and art therapist’s identity equally and Anne’s words come back to me all the time. Thanks Anne for knowing me better than I know myself! Thanks to my life long brothers and sisters, whom most people call friends, thank you for never questioning and always hanging on to our connection. It has meant the world to me. My cohort of ladies who were there in there during those crazy art making summers of residency. Together we nurtured each other, tending the fragile and the strong with equal muster. Thank you Cohort 3 members, Jill, Tammy, Susan, Lillian and Krystal, you will remain in my life as sisters of art and scholarship. You lift me up! To my Patterson Park and Butcher’s Hill neighborhood and friends, I thank you for always supporting me. You made me relax and remember why I believe in 6 community as a supportive structure in my life. I will never forget my life in Baltimore, you all have taught me to be comfortable with myself as a thinker and as an artist. You have watched cats and dogs, listened to my accomplishments and frustrations and always, always encouraged me to remember why I began this journey. Thanks and praises to my professors at Lesley University, who provided foundational support for me and helped clearly define my purpose during residency and beyond. Michele, Robyn, Mitchell, Julia, Phil, Shaun and Michaela, thank you for what you do and for supporting my belief in art therapy. I cannot imagine not having learned from the perspective of the multiple expressive therapies. The program truly has enriched my thinking and re-constructed my art therapists and artist’s identity and my desire to practice both. Thank you to Jennifer my external committee member whose wise perspective and belief in the field of art therapy has been instrumental to this process. I would like to thank my Grandmothers Mary and Julia, both whom I lost during this journey. They both taught me by example that strong women are and can be successful if they hold onto their passions and pull strength from some inner mysterious place. Thank you to my brothers, in particular my brother Karl who from the beginning saw this role for me. You are so wise. Thanks to Joe for keeping it real and making me realize there is a world beyond where I sit and write this. For my silent brother Allen, who’s traumatic death when I was a child literally created my passion and inquiry into using art to express grief, loss, failure, happiness and success, so many years ago. Bittersweet is a word I definitely understand. I would not be a therapist if it were not for 7 him and certainly would not be an artist. Art was the strength that got me through many years of sadness and grief. Thank you for looking over me. With boundless gratitude I thank my parents Ron and Pat, who have been there every step, holding me up to fulfill this promise to myself. Words cannot describe their patient, kind, and forthright position about my decision to get a doctorate; having been to my rescue more times that I can say. I hold their example of faith and hard work about ones ability to accomplish, overcome and succeed close to my heart. Thank you. 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................ 10 LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... 11 ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................... 12 1.

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.

  • Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:50 14 August 2016 the Handbook of Art Therapy
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:50 14 August 2016 The Handbook of Art Therapy The Handbook of Art Therapy has become the standard introductory text to the theory and practice of art therapy in a variety of settings. This comprehensive book concentrates on the work of art therapists: what they do, where they practise, and how and why art and therapy can combine to help the search for health and understanding of underlying problems. In this third edition, new developments in the profession are clearly described, including sections on neuroscience, research, private practice and the impact of technology on the therapeutic setting. Caroline Case and Tessa Dalley are highly experienced in the teaching, supervision and clinical practice of art therapy. Using ¿ rst-hand accounts of the experience of art therapy from therapists and patients, they cover such aspects as the inÀ uence of psychodynamic thinking, the role of the image in the art process and the setting in which the art therapist works. The Handbook of Art Therapy also focuses on art therapists themselves, and their practice, background and training. The book includes an extensive bibliography, encompassing a compre- hensive coverage of the current literature on art therapy and related subjects, and contains a glossary of psychoanalytic terms. Covering basic theory and practice for clinicians and students at all levels of training, this is a key text for art therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and students, as well as professionals working in other arts therapies. Caroline Case is an experienced art therapist and child and adolescent psycho- therapist working in private practice and as a clinical supervisor near Bristol, UK.

Our nation’s Veterans often return home with acute psychological or medical condi- tions that impair functioning, disrupt family relationships, and prevent reentry into the workforce. Others may develop chronic disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that require months or even years of counseling or rehabilitation. For Veterans who are receiving psychiatric care for PTSD and other emotional conditions, art therapy can be an effective form of treatment, either as a adjunct to other thera- pies or as a form of individual or group psychotherapy. Senator Bob Graham (FL) emphasized the value of art therapy with US veterans in The Congressional Record, stating: “Art therapists provide effective treatment and health maintenance intervention for veter- ans, focusing on all of their life challenges, such as mental, physical, and cognitive impairments. Intense emotion and memory, often difficult to convey in words, often are more easily expressed in images with the guidance of a trained clinician...Given the number of veterans gradually returning from the current war in Iraq, art therapy has the potential to assist them as a form of rehabilitation.” Members of the American Art Therapy Association hope that the following information will give you a greater understanding of how art therapy can be used in the treatment of our nation’s veterans and offers unique value in enhancing and improving mental health.

When considering the field of expressive arts therapy and the struggle it has faced in the effort to legitimize itself, it is worth considering how other therapeutic modalities could work in tandem with it in order to improve the overall experience. Alternatively, cognitive behavioral therapy is a strong, evidence-based practiced that sometimes lacks in the qualitative experience realm, providing a gap that may be filled by applying unique, expressive arts therapy techniques to achieve therapeutic goals.

Art therapy is a form of clinical intervention that uses art as the primary mode of expression and communication. The art therapist uses creativity to help achieve personal and treatment-related goals.

When people are experiencing intense, complex or confusing emotions, the use of art in a therapeutic setting can help them manage and communicate their feelings in ways that language cannot always accomplish.
