‘Art helps take down barriers, in that the use of the imagination is the ability to put oneself in another’s place ... in this sense, art is moral, because empathy is the ultimate morality’ (Dewey, 1934. p.10). Social theories are different from the psychological dynamic and humanistic theories much used in art therapy: Compared to psychological theories that assume that the problem is within the individual psyche, social theories assume that the problem is situated within the social systems that surround the individual, such as the ecological circles of family, community and state, or global systems of power. On a broader social level, then marginalized roles or positions create a lack of physical, symbolic, social, or other types of resources for solving problems (Minuchen, 1975; Gladding, 2002). The solution is to shift the roles within the system and to re-distribute resources. Marginalization stems from social and economic policies that create systematic discrimination and deprivation based on race, ethnicity, religion, or gender; and exacerbated by processes of immigration, war, and political instability, as well as general social disorganization and conflicting values within the social system (Foucault, 2000). The theory of empowerment assumes that all relationships are power infused, and that the ecological layers that comprise the socio-cultural context of the client’s reality can include different types of disempowerment and marginalization such as a racial, gendered, or ethnic lack of power (Patterson et al, 2009; Piercy et al, 1996).
“艺术有助于消除障碍，因为想象力的运用是一种设身处地为他人着想的能力……在这个意义上，艺术是道德的，因为共情是最终的道德”(杜威，1934)。p.10)。社会理论不同于艺术治疗中经常使用的心理动力和人文主义理论:与假设问题在个人心理内部的心理学理论相比，社会理论假设问题位于围绕个人的社会系统中，例如家庭、社区和国家的生态圈，或全球权力系统。在更广泛的社会层面上，被边缘化的角色或位置造成了解决问题的物质、象征、社会或其他类型资源的缺乏(Minuchen, 1975;高兴,2002)。解决方案是在系统内转换角色并重新分配资源。边缘化源于造成基于种族、族裔、宗教或性别的系统性歧视和剥夺的社会和经济政策;移民、战争和政治不稳定的进程，以及社会体系内普遍的社会解体和价值观冲突，都加剧了这一问题(福柯，2000)。授权理论假设所有关系都是权力注入的，构成客户现实社会文化背景的生态层可能包括不同类型的权力剥夺和边缘化，如种族、性别或民族缺乏权力(Patterson等人，2009;Piercy et al, 1996)。

This paper explores the public/private binary in art therapy. The public space is often associated with art being taken out of the art therapeutic space to be exhibited in galleries and sometimes sold, one of the aims being to promote art therapy practice and the plight of those who participate in it. Here it sits uncomfortably with the idea of art as commodity. The private space is associated with art therapeutic practice that is confidential and in which the art stays within the boundary of the therapy until therapy is finished. The emphasis is more commonly on process than product. However, art therapy sessions themselves have now also become commodities to be bought and sold. The paper argues that the public/private binary is operational in all art therapy practice whether or not the art leaves the therapeutic space. Art is a language that, by definition, can communicate without artist/patient to explain it or identifiable audience to view it. It exists between ‘self’ and ‘other’, but ‘self’ is infused with the public and social world and ‘other’ contains the projections of the self. The paper explores how these private/public dynamics can be harnessed, in an ethical way, to best serve our clients. Art therapy work from a group for victims of torture is used to illustrate the points. Keywords: Groups, Ethics, Refugees, Exhibition, Charities, Boundaries

This paper examines the reflection on artwork created by four educators, of two postgraduate art psychotherapy training programmes from two distinct cultural and geographic parts of the world, the UK and Singapore, during an overseas student trip. This trip was part of a partnership activity between institutions to develop an intercultural experience between staff and students of both places. A research frame was conceived to support the aims of the encounter to raise awareness of intercultural issues and themes to inform the teaching and learning -and- the theory and practice of art therapy in the contexts of Singapore and London. The purposeful image reflection led to dialogue relating to training practices and pedagogy, intercultural awareness and insight, and ways to enhance a sustaining collaborative relationship between the two programmes. The student trip was rich and holds great possibility for further investigation into culture and, indeed, into finding spaces and making places. Through images we will present some reflections and insights, including the directions for this exploratory research project. Keywords: Art therapy, training, intersubjectivity, intercultural, Singapore, London

Conflict is an emotive subject, currently occupying much space. This workshop was about finding new ways to look at it, using arts media. It started with an exercise on people’s first reaction to the word ‘conflict’. The main exercise asked participants to draw/paint a conflict in their lives or well-known to them and share these with a partner. Participants then made another picture for their partner, based on the same elements, but making slight changes that might suggest a different way of looking at things. This was based on the idea of mediation, in which a third party helps two parties in conflict to see things in a different way, without changing the situation materially, but emphasizing elements that may have escaped the notice of the parties in conflict. Partners then gave each other the picture they have done for them, and discussed the differences. Keywords: animal metaphors, communication (all the relevant words are in the title – conflict, mediation, visual)

This paper explores perspectives on the setting or room where art therapy takes place as an intense sensory, affective and meaning-filled site or placeworld wherein social, material, discursive, and psychological forces mingle. Using Dovey’s (2010 appropriation of the assemblage of Deleuze and Guattari (1987), the art therapy room is conceptualised as a dynamic ‘state of affairs’, wherein multiple forces including the political, ephemeral, discursive, material, interpersonal or psychodynamic are at play. Here, matter has agency with which we negotiate, collude and engage, albeit often semi- consciously and tacitly. Located initially in a phenomenological reading of the lived experience of the setting of art therapy for both art therapists and their clients, this proposition of the agential dimension of matter evolves and develops ideas from eco-psychology, new materialism and post-human discourses.

Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from different European countries, this paper explores the diverse landscape of training and professionalisation in the arts therapies. As such different approaches and pathways of development are outlined alongside considerations of the socio- political conditions of different countries. After a brief historical note regarding the development of the arts therapies, we focus on training within modern European contexts and explore issues of collaboration and integration. Within this context, we discuss the role of professional bodies and reflect on the balance between shared standards and diversity in the arts therapies. This leads to a consideration of professional recognition and of its complexities. Keywords: arts therapies, training, professionalisation, Europe

Immigrant children tend to be at higher risk for dissatisfactory peer relationships, often experiencing loneliness and isolation emanating from the frustrations related to struggles with negative socialization. Art Therapy counseling sessions were designed to address these children’s peer interactions and build a reciprocal therapeutic relationship for deep artistic engagements. The brief art therapy interventions with three Korean children from immigrant families outlined in this article, explored issues related to their acculturative social challenges and meaningful interpersonal interactions. The therapeutic value of their deep artistic engagements sustained through reciprocal therapeutic interactions, helped these young people to cope with social isolation and loneliness, and ultimately to form healthy peer relationships for the future.

This paper describes how art based inquiry can contribute to better understanding in art therapy treatment in the forensic facility the Pompekliniek in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Patients in the Pompekliniek have committed serious offences and suffer from psychotic and/or personality disorders. The art therapy studio provides a holding and containing environment where both the patients and therapist can gain new insight into art therapeutic processes. The use of artistic material and the therapeutic process act as a vehicle for a better understanding of the forensic patient. The author describes how art- based interventions and art-based inquiry provide opportunities for reflection on the art therapeutic treatment in forensic psychiatry. Keywords: Interaction, forensic, trauma, offence, material, treatment, attachment, art therapy, art-based research.

The Joint Painting Procedure (JPP) is an art-based assessment and clinical intervention that evaluates and focuses on implicit aspects in parent–child relationships in middle childhood. The JPP has been utilized in parent–child art psychotherapy and various other clinical settings over the past 15 years and involves the parent and child painting together on the same sheet of paper using gouache or tempera paints. The JPP enables multi-dimensional expression and representation of implicit qualities of the relationship that cannot be expressed verbally. Sharing the same space and creating together enables transformational processes such as fostering mutual recognition, encouraging reflective function and creating mutual regulation. The JPP offers the painting dyad a meaningful non-verbal intersubjective experience, as well as ways of looking at various aspects of their relationship. The JPP and its clinical aspects are being examined and validated through rigorous research. Keywords: Dyadic art psychotherapy, art-based assessment, mutual recognition, mentalization
