Andy Goldsworthy inspired nature art therapy provides a metaphoric template in which an adolescent explores time, change, and loss. Goldsworthy speaks to the importance of a heightened sense of touch or ‘haptic’ state that nature sculpture provokes within the artist utilizing all senses (Malpas, 2007; Goldsworthy, 2004). This whole body, mindful contemplation of place and the present, directly connects to the asserted need of the adolescent struggling with trauma (Van der Kolk, 2014). Nature art therapy allows the individual to create an essential sense of safety through the involvement of right brain interventions as well as the resolution of attachment to the environment. The importance of re-establishing a safe place for growth is essential to the developing needs of the adolescent struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This paper explores the importance of place through review of relevant literature and description of research within a nine week Andy Goldsworthy inspired nature group based treatment intervention for teenagers diagnosed with PTSD. Keywords: Art Therapy, nature Therapy, PTSD, Adolescence, Space, Andy Goldsworthy
Andy Goldsworthy启发的自然艺术疗法提供了一个隐喻模板，在这个模板中，青少年探索时间、变化和失去。戈尔兹沃西谈到了一种高度的触觉或“触觉”状态的重要性，这种状态是自然雕塑在艺术家内部利用所有感官所激发的(马尔帕斯，2007;。戈兹沃西,2004)。整个身体，对地点和现在的有意识的沉思，直接与青少年在创伤中挣扎的断言需求联系在一起(Van der Kolk, 2014)。自然艺术疗法允许个体通过参与右脑干预以及解决对环境的依恋来创造一种基本的安全感。重建一个安全的成长环境的重要性对于与创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)作斗争的青少年的发展需求至关重要。本文通过对相关文献的回顾和对为期九周的以Andy Goldsworthy为灵感的自然小组为基础的青少年PTSD治疗干预的研究描述，探讨了场所的重要性。关键词:艺术疗法，自然疗法，创伤后应激障碍，青春期，空间，安迪·戈尔兹沃西

Grayson Perry Dr Jill Westwood introduced the delegates to Grayson Perry. She drew attention to the work that Grayson had produced, and his observations, all of which she felt had “extraordinary reach”. In his making of pots, pictures, books, dresses, tapestries, motorbikes and now houses, Grayson draws on autobiography, works with the emotional and with the experience of psychotherapy. Grayson was also the winner of two BAFTA awards for his TV programmes presenting social and art-driven observations on class, taste, culture gender and identity. Addressing Grayson Jill said “You are in a unique position….and we are very happy for you, who is mischievous at the centre, to connect to us who is mildly maverick on the margins”. Grayson shared his creative journey through slides, talk and discussion with the conference delegates. He explored identity and the development of a sense of self. He emphasised the way in which the material culture provided support for self explorations and expression. He gave an account of journeys he had made and the inspiration that he gained from exchanges with others. Learning from others, Grayson suggested, was central to his understanding of creativity, a creativity which he felt was also central to the therapeutic endeavour. Patrick Casement Dr Robin Tipple introduced the delegates to the psychoanalyst Patrick Casement, author of Learning from the Patient (1985), Further learning from the patient (1990), and Learning from mistakes (2002), the later receiving a Gradiva award for its contribution to psychoanalysis. Robin felt that all these books together represented psychoanalysis at its best, a psychotherapy that was not dogmatic, but open and honest in relation to communication with the patient. He said that the books were formative in developing his own therapeutic practices, and he was delighted when Patrick agreed to speak at the conference. Robin ended his introduction by observing how Patrick, in his youth, developed an extraordinary ability in diving, in plumbing the depths and holding his breath.

In this paper presentation report presenter (Jill McWilliam) will give a brief overview of the framework developed with school-based facilitators and multi agency teams for use alongside the Morton model of Therapeutic Story groups. The presenter will give a brief summary of case study material to show how a child used the space in a group to express inner pre-occupations and re-engage with learning and his peers and class teacher. The case study will include an example of the profile of the child developed using the evaluation tool (Metaphors Social and Learning Resilience Score) that is then shared with the school as a means of showing changes resulting from the work and next steps with the child in school or with the family.

Syrian refugee children face ongoing trauma living in Baqa’a Palestinian Refugee Camp in Jordan. The experiences and the struggle of an art therapist working for three months with 30 children in the midst of chaos, pain and anger, raise challenges for the application of art therapy in the broader practice and geo-political context. Group art therapy, guided in particular by the work of Yalom, provided a foundation for limited yet meaningful therapeutic engagement for children through art.

Crossing The Field art installation began as a series of reflections on our experiences of the radical shifts and changes in the place of, and spaces for art therapy in the UK. Provoked by the crisis of whole populations of people traversing the globe in search of a place of safety and refuge, these discussions grew into the concept of a collaborative tent city on the college field. At the same time our colleagues in Australia were moved by similar concerns to imagine a tent-shaped installation of builders’ plumb bobs and line, a void space inside the posi1ve space suggesting tension, precision, intention; a place where borders are articulated.

The following case study provided a clinical vignette for my MA Art Psychotherapy dissertation, which explored the dynamics between art therapy, groups and adolescents in psychiatric inpatient services. An introduction provides a thorough view of the state of children’s mental health and the services offered within England, highlighting aspects in need of attention and using up-to-date data to draw these conclusions from. A case vignette offers an experience of the art therapy group with adolescent inpatients and links theoretical ideas to practice. Alongside other group art therapy theories, development of an aspect of an embedded theory such as containment is offered as a hypothesis. Through the discussion it is fair to conclude art therapy may provide safe space in the environment because images themselves act as containers. Art therapy models the scaffolding needed in this setting and the quantitative and qualitative research reviewed indicates that art therapy can be a useful intervention for this client population. Keywords: Art Therapy, Group, Collaborative, Adolescent In-Patient, Pre- therapy, Systemic Containment

Episodes of clinical art therapy practice include stages of assessment, planning, intervention, and endings (Wilson, 1984; Walsh, 2003). Terminations planned or unplanned each lend a particular psychological/cultural context. The space of the art therapist/patient has engendered a powerful fulcrum around which healing has occurred. The sanctity of the art therapy space will be dissolved. How will that work, that relationship, and that space be carried forward? The ‘creative potential’ at closure is often overlooked as mourning begins, in some form, on all sides. Within that mourning of the art therapy can be seen the patient’s gains, the patient–art therapist relationship, the art produced, and the art studio/office that provides a physical container for the work that is now being completed. Ending holds rich possibilities for the patient and the therapist. Keywords: Art psychotherapy, endings in psychotherapy, bereavement, termination, closure, psychotherapy

Welcome to the second international art therapy conference to be held here at Goldsmiths. We hope that the conference will provide a rich balance of theoretical and experiential learning, art practice and the power of the image. It will also present a chance to meet up with old friends and colleagues and to meet new people and make new contacts. It is a great pleasure to see that we have so many delegates from all over the world and we look forward to the contribution that will be made from these multiple international perspectives. In this address I want to say a few words about Social Therapeutic and Community Studies (STaCS), the department in which Art Therapy sits at Goldsmiths and the provide a few thoughts on the significance of holding such a conference at a time when austerity and the increased marketization of Higher Education is challenging the values and role of the university in society.

This paper examines the health risks and issues associated with Military Training and Military Service in order to establish a veteran informed approach to working therapeutically with veterans in prison. It is written by a military veteran, and describes the author's work with veterans in prison using undirected, change focussed art therapy. It describes a conference workshop offered for delegates, which used the same format as that used in prisons. The different experiences are discussed. We asked: "What is a veteran?"

The art therapy studio model has important implications for practice that include the role of the facilitator and the social setting of the therapeutic space. The studio environment brings art making to the forefront as a communal connected activity. The Artist Mentoring Program (AMP) is a supportive studio group of adults with experiences in the mental health system. This ten-year studio art program provide a unique lens to examine the role of community and creative agency within the context of recovery in mental health. The studio is viewed as a unique, nurturing, relational environment that allows group members to self-determine and develop individual visual voices. The artwork of one artist member serves to illustrate how ongoing aesthetic engagement can provide a path to independence and transformation.
