ABSTRACT Background In recent years, in the face of natural disasters, mass migration and war in a globalising world, professionals from Western societies are conducting art-based psychosocial interventions to support struggling communities. The human encounters that take place during these interventions and the subsequent examination of these encounters by researchers are saddled with power dynamics and cultural differences. A critical stance is required to better address the complex issues of power and oppression that surface; a more authentic framework can make room for cultural humility. Aims In this joint dialogical-heuristic research, we describe our critical thinking on cross-cultural research pertaining to art-based, psychosocial and cross-cultural interventions. Methods This heuristic study involved analysing transcripts of the two researchers` dialogic reflection (DR) following their interviews with Filipino women, participants of an IsraAID group training programme in the aftermath of the Yolanda Typhon. Results The results describe our thoughts on conducting cross-cultural art-based research and the meaning of DR in this context, and focus on three main themes: the evolution and accuracy of the research during data collection; our self-reflection as researchers, and our experience in this cross-cultural setting. Conclusions The use of art and DR in art-based cross-cultural qualitative research adds value to the discourse on cultural humility. Implications for practice The discussion includes recommendations for using an ongoing process of reflection to facilitate active negotiation of the researchers’ position during the research process, and to enable questions that can better steer the study and promote sensitivity to cross-cultural dilemmas. Plain-language summary In recent years, in the wake of natural disasters, mass immigration and military conflicts across the globe, professionals from the Western world are conducting art-based psychosocial interventions designed to support struggling communities. Power dynamics and cultural differences have a clear impact on these human encounters and subsequent research of these interventions. Complex issues of power and oppression can be better addressed by adopting a critical stance and enabling an authentic framework that can promote a position of cultural humility. In this joint dialogical-heuristic research, we present our critical thinking in regard to a cross-cultural study of art-based psychosocial cross-cultural interventions. We analysed transcripts of dialogic reflection (DR) that we engaged in after interviewing Filipino women who participated in an IsraAid group training programme in the aftermath of the Yolanda Typhon. The results present our insights on cross-cultural, art-based research and the significance of DR in this process, and focus on three main themes: the evolution and accuracy of the data collection process, our self-reflection as researchers, and our experience in

It is with great honour that I am writing this editorial in my new role as Editor-in-Chief (EiC) Designate. Following a successful interview with the British Association of Art Therapists, and under the support of our current EiC, Alex McDonald I am committed to taking on the EiC role starting from April 2024. This would not have been possible without Alex’s generosity with her time to support each one of us in the editorial board in order to maintain the success of our journal, and her genuine determination to bring our journal to its highest quality standards it has ever been. I am grateful to Alex for her extraordinary contribution to our journal and for raising the profile of the art therapy profession. My first action as an EiC Designate is the announcement of a special issue call on Nature-based Art Therapy. Alongside guest co-editors Dr Pamela Whitaker and Dr Caroline Hickman, we are inviting original and evidence-informed research, practice, and opinion contributions on natureand outdoor-based art therapy. This special issue is a timely opportunity to explore how nature-based art therapy can contribute to both human and planetary health, (re-)connect us with nature, and facilitate equity of access to the arts, therapy, and nature. Aspects of nature-based art therapy we are particularly keen to develop stronger evidence for include:

ABSTRACT Background Art therapy with an autistic person with learning disabilities: communication and emotional regulation. Context This study focuses on a six-week art therapy programme with an autistic adult, who also has a learning disability, anxiety, and sensory processing disorder. Can art therapy be an effective therapeutic modality to help them develop their communication and emotional regulation abilities? Approach A single-case study approach was used and contextualised using the ‘Interactive Square approach’ introduced by Bragge and Fenner ([2009]. The emergence of the ‘interactive square’ as an approach to art therapy with children on the autistic spectrum. International Journal of Art Therapy, 14(1), 17–28.). An open-ended interview was conducted and utilised an arts-based narrative inquiry to code the data from the interview. Using Lieblich et al. ([1998]. Narrative research: Reading, analysis, and interpretation. Sage Publications, Inc.) model of narrative analysis. Outcomes The study found that art therapy could contribute to the development of communication skills for the client and assist with emotional regulation strategies. While humour and the spontaneous element of the art materials also had a beneficial impact. Conclusions Art Therapy can thus reduce the need for avoidant coping strategies and cognitive suppression, which lead to increased anxiety and externalising behaviour. Implications for Research These findings highlight important conclusions, and more art therapy research with autistic people with learning disabilities is warranted. Plain-language summary This article examines the initial impact of art therapy with an adult diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study investigated whether art therapy could be an effective way of helping that person with communication and managing their emotions. The first part of the research was to gather data from the art therapy sessions. Based on the interactive square analysis method introduced by Bragge and Fenner ([2009]. The emergence of the ‘interactive square’ as an approach to art therapy with children on the autistic spectrum. International Journal of Art Therapy, 14(1), 17–28.). The second part of the research was to hold an audio interview with the client and analyse the recording using Liebmann’s ([2008]. Art therapy and anger. Jessica Kingsley Publishers.) model of narrative analysis. The findings found that art therapy contributed to the development of communication skills. The sensory qualities of the art materials encouraged communication. Art therapy could help a person to understand and manage their emotions. This study highlights important conclusions that can help autistic people with learning disabilities.
