While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating ~djacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material b~ing photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap.

  • Understanding Jung's Role in Art Therapy Abstract
    Understanding Jung's Role in Art Therapy Abstract With the publication of C.G. Jung’s “The Red Book” (2009), art therapists learned of Jung’s immense dedication to the image through the material he gathered from the unconscious. The knowledge from this and other publications make it reasonable to suggest that Jung was the father of art therapy (Jung, 2009; Hoerni, Fischer, & Kaufmann, 2018; Swan-Foster, 2018). We now know that his art-making was a life-long affair with the use of materials that included pencil, pens, paints, wood, and stone (Hoerni et al., 2018). In 1906 Jung joined Freud’s mission to advance psychoanalysis, but by 1913 he risked and sacrificed his prestigious professional career with a mid-life decision that led instead to the advancement of his own individuation—a return to his soul’s purpose (Jung, 2009). This led to a period of deep reflection and reclaiming what he had set aside, which included his creative work. Just prior to this 1913 decision, Jung was invited for a second time as the heir of psychoanalysis to the United States where he lectured at prestigious institutions on his research from the Burghölzli. The trip showcased Jung’s word association experiments and complex theory—a concept that has the image at its core. Jung’s work had gained international respect, influencing such areas as the early conceptualization of the DSM, the treatment of mental illness and early formulations of post-traumatic stress and trauma. On this visit, Beatrice Hinkle, (Jungian analyst of Margaret Naumburg and Florence Cane), introduced Jung to the Greenwich crowd, and eventually in 1916 translated into English Jung’s pivotal work, Symbols of Transformation (Sherry, 2015).

    Tilburg University College Art Therapy and Depression To what extent does art therapy treat depression compared to other forms of therapy? Supervisor Second Reader Lieke Wijnia David Janssens Created by Anique van Gorp 2003279 June 15, 2019 1 Abstract Art therapy is a relatively new form of therapy that integrates the fields of psychology and creative arts. This form of therapy aims to unravel people’s unconscious desires through arts – drawing, clay, music – in order to treat patients from any kind of illness they are facing. Research has shown that even though art therapy is known to be an increasing popular substitute for other forms of therapy, it is still questioned how exactly art therapy assists in the healing process of its patients, and what it is that makes this treatment more effective than other forms of therapy. To answer these questions, the purpose of this thesis will be to explore the effectiveness of art therapy in relation to depression. I have chosen to focus on depression as a medical illness because it is a critical mental illness that is often overrated, and experts are still seeking answers on how to treat depression. Moreover, as a personal reason, depression is something that I have faced, and am still facing, for the last couple of years. To investigate art therapy and its effectiveness in treating depression compared to other forms of therapy, primary and secondary research will be conducted to collect relevant and valuable data. Analysis of primary and secondary research completed in this thesis shows that there are many theories on the question of what makes art therapy different from other forms of therapy and why it is considered to be a more effective form of therapy.
