ABSTRACT This paper explores post-abortion experience and identifies key themes that may arise while working with individuals who have had an abortion. This paper aims to revisit and deconstruct the issue of abortion and place it in the sociopolitical context from which it arises. The research included draws from multiple disciplines including art history, the politics of inclusivity and the interconnections between identity, oppression and privilege, as a way to understand the intricacy of one’s experience of abortion and approaches the topic through an intersectional feminist lens. The paper explores art therapy as a powerful approach to depict loss, and questions how we can create a safe therapeutic space for our clients in order to allow them to further explore their post-abortion experience. Two key themes were explored; ‘self and body as a compass’ and ‘working with the “invisible loss” and recreating the narrative; Art therapy approach’. The first theme touches on the sociopolitical ideas imprinted on the body and how a therapeutic space may allow an individual to further explore the memories associated with their experience. The second theme further looks into how art therapy can be a powerful approach for the exploration of themes that emerge post-abortion, as well as the importance of being able to encourage agency in our client to choose their own way of using the therapeutic space. Finally, I have included my own use of creating and reviewing artwork as a form of self-reflexivity. Plain-language summary This paper explores the post-abortion experience and identifies two key themes that may emerge while working with individuals who have had an abortion. The first theme is; ‘self and body as a compass’ and the second; ‘working with the “invisible loss” and recreating the narrative; Art therapy approach’. I have drawn from my own art-making process in response to the topic and a contemporary artist’s personal body of work, called Tony Gum, in order to navigate the themes explored in this paper. This paper will hopefully help to start conversations around how we can create a safe therapeutic space for our clients and how we can support them in the way they want to use the therapeutic space to further explore their experience. Research recommendations are also discussed.

ABSTRACT Background Engaging in creative arts and heritage have both been shown to improve wellbeing. Aim: The aim of the current study was to explore veterans’ experiences of attending the Creative Wellbeing Programme programme (CWP) in a military museum. Methods Seven veterans who attended the CWP programme were invited to share their experiences through a qualitative, semi-structured interview. The interview explored experiences of engaging in this type of programme and the impact this had on them. The interview was transcribed, and a thematic analysis was conducted. Results Themes concerned three stages of involvement: Pre-programme, Programme experiences, and Post-programme. Pre-Programme themes concerned reasons for participation, pre-programmes feelings, hopes and expectations. Programme Experiences concerned general experiences, the role of social support, the role of the museum, and the art therapy process. Post-Programme themes concerned perceived outcomes. Overall, the museum created a relaxed and informal environment, and the familiar items in the museum stimulated the creative process. However, for some this led to disengagement due to fear that objects may prompt negative emotions. Conclusions The findings suggest that engaging veterans in art therapy in a museum environment is beneficial. Future programmes should aim to focus on support post intervention. Implications: The study provides insight into the acceptability of art therapy within a military museum environment. It also adds to the growing international evidence concerning the role museums have in supporting mental health and wellbeing. Plain language summary This study aimed to explore the experiences of veterans who took part in a Creative Wellbeing Programme (CWP). This programme involved using art and discussion in a museum environment as a way of supporting veterans with potentially traumatic memories. The group environment facilitated connection and a sense of belonging through discussion of museum items. Seven veterans were interviewed via MS Teams about their experiences engaging in the programme, exploring potentially positive and negative aspects of participating. The transcripts were transcribed by MS Teams and anonymized before being analysed for potential themes. Themes were identified relating to pre-programme, during the programme and following the programme. Pre-programme themes were centred on the reasons veterans participated, and their hopes and expectations about the programme. Programme themes were the role of social support in the groups, the role of the museum, art therapy process. Post-programme themes centred on the outcomes veterans felt had resulted from taking part in the programme. Overall, the familiar items in the museum facilitated discussion and creativity despite some veterans feeling that the items prompted negative emotions.

ABSTRACT Background This qualitative arts-based research study examined the experience of graduate art therapy students, who were in the middle of their degree when their university abruptly closed. Once the program was successfully established at the new institution, students engaged in collective storytelling through art and film, then participated in a focus group to reflect on their learning. Aims: The research aimed to examine the use of collective storytelling, art and film to process an unexpected loss. Methods: A narrative feminist lens was applied in examining the qualitative rich text examples from this three-phase study to support processing their experience. Results: Participants were bonded through the collective experience and found that seeing other people’s art and story helped validate the isolation felt in their individual experience. Engaging in this process provided them a way to fill in gaps in their memory. Conclusions: Through the process of creation, reflection and dialogue, they were able to make meaning and appreciate the struggle, connecting it to learning and growth. Implications for practice: The study provides a framework for processing collective loss and considers the application of this framework to support healing with communities in art therapy. Future research: Future research could consider the application of this framework with a community of people who have interest in processing a collective loss, using art, narrative and film to serve as a container of their experiences. Plain-language summary This qualitative arts-based research study explored the experiences of graduate art therapy students (participants) who experienced the unexpected abrupt closure of their university in the middle of their graduate degree. This three-phase study utilized storytelling, art making, watching a film and participating in a focus group as a method to support processing their experience. In all, twenty of twenty-five people engaged in one, two or all three phases of the research, which were: Phase one, collective storytelling; Phase two, art illustrating story; Phase three, watching a film created from data in phase one and two in a focus group. Participants reported that engaging in this process and watching the film helped them to make sense of their experience, value the collective group process, and realize that they were not alone. They identified the art as instrumental in telling the story and several could not decipher their own voice from their peers’ voice in hearing the story reflected back to them. The article provides rich text examples exploring the overarching themes of the film; community; and sharing the story to the public. Subthemes with rich text examples that are discussed include: art in the film; emotions; isolation to connection; original voices; film as container; closure; trauma bond and gratitude.

ABSTRACT Background There is a long tradition of offering art therapy to inpatients. NICE guidelines (2009 p.25) recommend considering offering ‘arts therapies to all people with psychosis or schizophrenia, particularly for the alleviation of negative symptoms’. However art therapy can still be unavailable. Context This paper describes how art therapy is offered to people on acute inpatient wards, and focuses on their experience of art therapy. A service evaluation was registered and approved by the NHS Trust allowing non – identifiable information collected within the art therapy service. People with acute mental health problems attending art therapy were invited to complete a short survey. The thoughts and experiences of respondents (n = 24) are reported here. Approach The art therapy approach offered is informed by psychodynamic thinking and is adapted to meet the needs of people in acute inpatient settings who may be experiencing psychotic symptoms or have experienced trauma. Outcomes Results found art therapy to be a positive experience. Themes included the ability for self –expression, to think more clearly, a reduction in stress levels, anxiety, anger, and voice hearing. Conclusions People receiving art therapy while in hospital reported it to be a helpful part of their treatment and contributed to their overall recovery and discharge. Implications for research Further views from people receiving art therapy and from staff would be helpful using a different method for example interviewing and focus groups. Plain-language summary This paper describes art therapy as it was offered to people while they are staying on acute inpatient wards. We asked people who had attended art therapy for their feedback and we discuss how art therapy was offered in acute wards. The approach and theoretical framework of art therapy in acute inpatient care is explained as well as describing the experiences and views of 24 people who attended art therapy while in hospital and who agreed to take part in the service evaluation. People who used the service commented that they liked the calm atmosphere of the art therapy room and found it allowed time for them to express difficult feelings. People described feeling listened to and one person said it made them feel more human. Feedback indicated attending art therapy could lead to a reduction in symptoms such as anxiety, suicidal thoughts, voice hearing and stress. People using the service said art therapy was a welcome alternative or addition to medication in the treatment of their difficulties. To summarise, the paper describes how attending art therapy offers inpatients an opportunity to express difficult thoughts and feelings in a calm and relaxing setting and people reported that this helped reduce symptoms such as anxiety, suicidal thoughts and stress.

ABSTRACT Background: Creating ‘art-alongside’ in peer art therapy groups: connection, trust, and power dynamics. Practice Contexts: Online, private practice; peer-focused PATh group and PATh group with people within the LGBTQA + community. Face-to-face, non-government organisation; art therapy groups with people living with cancer. Approach: Peer art therapists enter therapeutic spaces alongside their own Lived Experience of mental-health challenges. In PATh, art therapists create art-alongside participants in group art therapy. Outcomes: Through creating art-alongside peer art therapists can demonstrate embodied understanding of and modelling of surviving mental ill-health experiences as well as deliver authentic empathy for participants with current struggles. Art-alongside can be a mutually-connecting, co-learning, beneficial practice for participants and therapist. Creating art-alongside in PATh groups can create safer spaces for participants and provide grounded therapist-as-peer role modelling. Conclusions: Creating art-alongside participants in PATh applies peer-work and art therapy understandings and skills. It dismantles therapist/participant power locations of traditional art therapy and can be a process of mutuality and connection for participants and therapist. Implications for Research: Co-produced research with participants and therapists on the experience of art-alongside in PATh groups and co-produced research across ‘companion art’, ‘reflection-art’ and art-alongside in PATh, evidencing the impact of therapist-articulated Lived Experience. In addition, research is needed into the inclusion of an art-alongside PATh model in art therapy training. Plain-language summary Peer Art Therapy (PATh) is the framework used for practitioners who are trained and experienced in both art therapy and mental health peer work. Peer work is the practice of using our own Lived Experiences to support someone also living with similar ones and being equals within our spaces. In our context we specifically mean ‘experiences of mental health issues’. It combines the theories, skills, tasks and practices of both fields to work alongside and responsively to clients. Peer art therapists – the authors included – share with clients, aspects of their own personal experiences of living with mental health challenges. In this article, we talk about the practical application of this approach and how peer art therapists create ‘art-alongside’ the participants in their groups. This practice can benefit both the participants and therapists and creates strong connected relationships where both are learning. Our article discusses the concepts and theories of this approach and the positive responses it creates, including: building safer spaces, peer/role modelling, increased empathy for and understanding and survival of complex mental health challenges. The authors use personal examples of art created alongside from our clinical settings – online peer-focussed peer art
摘要背景:在同行艺术治疗小组中创造“艺术同行”:联系、信任和权力动态。实践背景:在线、私人实践;以同伴为中心的PATh小组和与LGBTQA内部人员的PATh团体 + 社区面对面,非政府组织;癌症患者艺术治疗小组。方法:同行艺术治疗师进入治疗空间的同时,他们自己的心理健康挑战的生活体验。在PATh,艺术治疗师与团体艺术治疗的参与者一起创作艺术。结果:通过与同行艺术治疗师一起创作艺术,治疗师可以展示对幸存精神疾病经历的具体理解和建模,并为当前有困难的参与者提供真实的同理心。对于参与者和治疗师来说,艺术可以是一种相互联系、共同学习、有益的实践。在PATh小组中一起创作艺术可以为参与者创造更安全的空间,并提供有根据的治疗师作为同伴的榜样。结论:与PATh参与者一起创作艺术应用了同行工作和艺术治疗的理解和技能。它打破了传统艺术治疗中治疗师/参与者的权力位置,可以成为参与者和治疗师之间相互关系和联系的过程。研究意义:与参与者和治疗师共同制作了关于PATh小组艺术体验的研究,并在PATh小组中共同制作了“伴侣艺术”、“反思艺术”和艺术的研究,证明了治疗师阐述的生活体验的影响。此外,还需要研究将艺术与PATh模式一起纳入艺术治疗训练。简明语言总结同伴艺术治疗(PATh)是一个用于在艺术治疗和心理健康同伴工作方面受过培训和经验丰富的从业者的框架。同伴工作是指利用我们自己的生活经历来支持同样与他人生活在一起的人,并在我们的空间内保持平等。在我们的语境中,我们特别指的是“心理健康问题的经历”。它结合了这两个领域的理论、技能、任务和实践,与客户并肩工作并对客户做出回应。同行艺术治疗师——包括作者——与客户分享他们自己在心理健康挑战中的个人经历。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了这种方法的实际应用,以及同行艺术治疗师如何与小组中的参与者一起创造“艺术”。这种做法可以使参与者和治疗师都受益,并在双方都在学习的情况下建立牢固的联系关系。我们的文章讨论了这种方法的概念和理论,以及它所产生的积极反应,包括:建立更安全的空间、同伴/角色模型、增强对复杂心理健康挑战的同理心、理解和生存。作者使用了与我们的临床环境一起创作的艺术的个人例子——在线同龄人艺术治疗小组和LGBTIQA同龄人艺术治疗组 + 一家非政府组织的客户和艺术治疗团体,以及癌症患者。我们的工作也消除了治疗师作为艺术治疗实践专家的需求。我们建议未来对同行艺术治疗师与客户一起创作艺术的价值进行多个领域的研究,包括客户和治疗师。

In our context we specifically mean ‘experiences of mental health issues’. It combines the theories, skills, tasks and practices of both fields to work alongside and responsively to clients. Peer art therapists – the authors included – share with clients, aspects of their own personal experiences of living with mental health challenges. In this article, we talk about the practical application of this approach and how peer art therapists create ‘art-alongside’ the participants in their groups. This practice can benefit both the participants and therapists and creates strong connected relationships where both are learning. Our article discusses the concepts and theories of this approach and the positive responses it creates, including: building safer spaces, peer/role modelling, increased empathy for and understanding and survival of complex mental health challenges. The authors use personal examples of art created alongside from our clinical settings – online peer-focussed peer art ","PeriodicalId":39969,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art Therapy: Inscape","volume":"28 1","pages":"38 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49303941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language is power: anti-oppressive, conscious language in art therapy practice 语言即力量:艺术治疗实践中的反压迫、自觉语言

ABSTRACT Language not only expresses but shapes how we understand the world, each other, and ourselves. Words serve a key role in maintaining cultural norms and values regarding which experiences and identities are considered valuable, normal, and powerful and which are considered abnormal, pathological, and even nonhuman. As such, there is no objective, least-offensive, neutral language that does not perpetuate the status quo. This article contributes a critical discussion of the power of words to harm in the context of art therapy, and offers helpful examples of how art therapists can disrupt oppression in language. The authors clarify that anti-oppressive, conscious language is not about censorship, language policing, or being politically correct; rather, it is about centering care and avoiding harm. Strategies are offered for recognizing how dehumanizing, invisibilizing, and pathologizing language may show up in art therapy, and how to counter oppressive language in day-to-day practice. With greater attention to how they use words, art therapists may begin to incorporate conscious language into their skillset as another art form that is attentive to culture, power, and care. Cultivating a liberatory mental model—oriented toward a future that is free from all forms of violence and where all life, all identities and experiences, and all ways of making meaning are equally honored and valued—can affect not only our language but also our entire practice and understanding of art therapy. Plain language summary Language plays a key role in how we understand the world, each other, and ourselves. It often keeps cultural rules and norms in place by naming certain experiences and identities as ‘valuable,’ ‘normal,’ and ‘powerful’ and others as ‘abnormal,’ ‘damaged,’ and even nonhuman. Trying to speak and write objectively and not offend people is a well-intentioned goal, but doing this keeps an oppressive status quo intact and can also increase self-conscious feelings of guilt and shame. This article argues that instead of focusing on the ‘right words’ that avoid offense, conscious language focuses on care and avoiding harm. We note that much everyday language is unconscious and unquestioned. Art therapists risk causing harm when they are not aware of how they use words to talk and write about people, their practices, and the different cultures they encounter in their work. We offer examples of harmful language and effective ways to counter it in daily practice, along with the empowering idea that by bringing conscious language into their work, art therapists can consider words to be another art form and a tool for being attentive to culture, power, and care. Practices that promote a mental model based in freedom from violence and valuing all people are described as a powerful way to change not only our language but the practice of art therapy itself.
语言不仅表达而且塑造了我们如何理解世界、彼此以及我们自己。语言在维护文化规范和价值观方面发挥着关键作用,这些规范和价值观涉及哪些经历和身份被认为是有价值的、正常的和强大的,哪些被认为是不正常的、病态的,甚至是非人类的。因此,没有客观的、最少冒犯的、中立的语言不会维持现状。这篇文章对艺术治疗背景下的语言伤害力量进行了批判性的讨论,并提供了艺术治疗师如何打破语言压迫的有益例子。作者澄清说,反压迫、有意识的语言与审查、语言监管或政治正确无关;相反,它是关于集中照顾和避免伤害。本文提供了一些策略,帮助人们认识到艺术治疗中可能出现的非人性化、隐形化和病态化语言,以及如何在日常实践中对抗压迫性语言。随着对他们如何使用语言的更多关注,艺术治疗师可能会开始将有意识的语言作为另一种关注文化、权力和关怀的艺术形式纳入他们的技能中。培养一种解放的精神模式——面向一个没有任何形式暴力的未来,在那里,所有的生命、所有的身份和经历,以及所有创造意义的方式都同样受到尊重和重视——不仅会影响我们的语言,还会影响我们对艺术治疗的整个实践和理解。语言在我们如何理解世界、彼此以及我们自己的过程中起着关键作用。它经常通过将某些经历和身份命名为“有价值的”、“正常的”和“强大的”,而将其他经历和身份命名为“不正常的”、“受损的”,甚至是非人类的,来保持文化规则和规范。试着客观地说话和写作,不冒犯别人是一个善意的目标,但这样做会保持压迫的现状不变,也会增加自我意识的内疚和羞耻感。本文认为,有意识的语言不是专注于避免冒犯的“正确词汇”,而是专注于关心和避免伤害。我们注意到,许多日常语言都是无意识的、毋庸置疑的。当艺术治疗师没有意识到他们如何使用文字来谈论和写作人们、他们的实践以及他们在工作中遇到的不同文化时,他们就有可能造成伤害。我们提供了一些有害语言的例子,以及在日常实践中对抗有害语言的有效方法,同时还提供了一个授权的想法,即通过将有意识的语言引入他们的工作中,艺术治疗师可以将文字视为另一种艺术形式,一种关注文化、权力和关怀的工具。提倡一种基于免于暴力和重视所有人的心理模式的实践,被描述为一种强大的方式,不仅改变了我们的语言,也改变了艺术疗法本身的实践。

ABSTRACT A recent seismic shift has brought issues of race and privilege into the collective consciousness, namely the global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. This article looks at the consequences of not addressing power and White privilege in the art therapy room. Adopting an intersectional self-reflexive approach, this article presents my experience as a trainee art psychotherapist working in multicultural inner-city schools and argues for the prioritisation of addressing power and White privilege within art therapy practice. Using clinical vignettes I reflect on my own relationship with White privilege and consider how this might disrupt the formation of a therapeutic relationship. My experience aligned with much of the relevant literature, that to better understand and possibly dismantle damaging occurrences of power and White privilege in art therapy, more work and attention must be paid to this area. This includes current literature as well as developing our knowledge through future research that incorporates the voices of service users. Training in intersectionality and social justice are recommended to support the profession with facing up to the existence of White privilege. In addition, a compassionate space must be created to reflect on White privilege and fragility, so the work of countering the dominant narrative and educating the privileged does not fall only to those who have been marginalised and oppressed. Plain-language summary Issues of race and privilege have been brought into the collective consciousness through the global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. This paper looks at the effect of not addressing power and White privilege in the therapy room and argues for the power and privilege that comes from being White to be reflected on as a priority in art therapy practice. To do this I have used my own experience to present my personal journey alongside relevant literature. Drawing on experience from my work in inner-city schools I examine my own relationship with being White and consider how this might disrupt the formation of a therapeutic relationship. I agree with much of the relevant literature, that to better understand and possibly dismantle damaging occurrences of power and White privilege in art therapy, more work and attention must be paid to this area. This includes current literature as well as developing our knowledge through future research that incorporates the voices of service users. To support the profession with facing up to the existence of White privilege I recommend training in how wider systems affect an individual’s varied and intersecting experiences of disadvantage and oppression, and the effect this has on that individual.

摘要最近的一次重大转变将种族和特权问题带入了集体意识,即全球疫情和2020年的“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动。这篇文章着眼于不在艺术治疗室解决权力和白人特权问题的后果。本文采用交叉的自我反射方法,介绍了我作为一名实习艺术心理治疗师在多文化的市中心学校工作的经历,并主张在艺术治疗实践中优先考虑权力和白人特权。使用临床小插曲,我反思了我自己与白人特权的关系,并考虑这可能会如何破坏治疗关系的形成。我的经验与许多相关文献一致,即为了更好地理解并可能消除艺术治疗中权力和白人特权的破坏性现象,必须对这一领域给予更多的关注。这包括当前的文献,以及通过纳入服务用户声音的未来研究来发展我们的知识。建议进行交叉性和社会正义方面的培训,以支持该行业正视白人特权的存在。此外,必须创造一个富有同情心的空间来反思白人的特权和脆弱性,因此,对抗主流叙事和教育特权阶层的工作不仅仅落在那些被边缘化和压迫的人身上。简单明了的语言摘要通过全球疫情和2020年的“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动,种族和特权问题已被纳入集体意识。本文着眼于在治疗室中不处理权力和白人特权的影响,并主张在艺术治疗实践中优先考虑来自白人的权力和特权。为了做到这一点,我用我自己的经历和相关文献一起展示了我的个人旅程。根据我在市中心学校工作的经验,我审视了自己与白人的关系,并考虑这可能会如何破坏治疗关系的形成。我同意许多相关文献的观点,即为了更好地理解并可能消除艺术治疗中权力和白人特权的破坏性事件,必须对这一领域给予更多的关注。这包括当前的文献,以及通过纳入服务用户声音的未来研究来发展我们的知识。为了支持这一职业正视白人特权的存在,我建议培训更广泛的制度如何影响个人的不利和压迫的各种交叉经历,以及这对个人的影响。此外,必须创造一个富有同情心的空间来反思白人的特权和脆弱性,因此,对抗主流叙事和教育特权阶层的工作不仅仅落在那些被边缘化和压迫的人身上。

Transracial adoption: art therapists’ views on facilitating children's racial and adoptive identity 跨种族收养:艺术治疗师对促进儿童种族和收养身份的看法

ABSTRACT Background There is an absence of research on working with transracially adopted children in the UK. This suggests the need to provide insight into how art psychotherapy practice can be used to explore the transracially adopted child's lived experience of navigating their racial and adoptive identity. The theory of intersectionality highlights the importance of recognising marginalised categories of identity. Without such, these children may only integrate partial knowledge of themselves, which inevitably undermines their voice and ability to hold power in a racialised and oppressive socio-political system. Aims The study aimed to explore: how art therapists work with transracially adopted children to help them find a coherent sense of self; what therapists themselves consider the benefits and limitations of the art psychotherapy practice; intersectional thinking as a way to avoid examining identity differences in silos. Methods This study used semi-structured interviews to gather the views of four art psychotherapists. Thematic analysis was then used to analyse the data collected. Results Evolved as three themes: the containing role of art psychotherapists, primary caregivers and wider care system; a child-led approach; the challenge of integrating cultural humility into the art psychotherapy profession. Conclusion Findings highlighted a systemic approach to processing trauma, including the use of shared, joined-up and non-verbal language could be key in helping transracial adoptees explore their identity using culturally relevant approaches in art psychotherapy. Implications for practice and future research The researcher recommends that access to cultural humility training is formalised for art psychotherapists in order to establish anti-oppressive frameworks. Plain-language summary This article outlines a research project, which examined how art psychotherapy can be used to explore the identity of children and young people who have been adopted transracially. Within this context, it sought to gain a better understanding of how art psychotherapists currently use artmaking and creativity in the therapeutic relationship with these children. It is recognised that for a transracially adopted child's placement to be successful their sense of identity and belonging needs to be supported. In some areas of the UK, post-adoption support exists, which includes access to art psychotherapy. For this research project, four qualified UK based art psychotherapists were interviewed in the hope of revealing what these participants considered to be the benefits and the limitations of art psychotherapy practice when working with this client group. Additionally, the researcher examined the art psychotherapists’ motivations for engaging in this specific subject area. Participants were further asked if any personal challenges, such as their own racial background and/or unconscious biases arose when navigating a transracially adopted child's racial and adop
摘要背景英国缺乏针对跨种族收养儿童的研究。这表明有必要深入了解如何利用艺术心理治疗实践来探索跨种族收养的儿童在驾驭其种族和收养身份方面的生活体验。交叉性理论强调了承认边缘化身份类别的重要性。如果没有这些,这些孩子可能只会融入对自己的部分了解,这不可避免地会削弱他们在种族化和压迫性社会政治体系中的发言权和掌权能力。本研究旨在探索:艺术治疗师如何与跨种族收养的儿童合作,帮助他们找到连贯的自我意识;治疗师自己认为艺术心理治疗实践的好处和局限性;交叉思考是一种避免在筒仓中审视身份差异的方法。方法采用半结构化访谈的方法,收集四位艺术心理治疗师的观点。然后使用专题分析来分析所收集的数据。结果演变为三个主题:艺术心理治疗师的包容作用、主要照顾者和更广泛的护理系统;儿童主导的方法;将文化谦逊融入艺术心理治疗职业的挑战。结论研究结果强调了处理创伤的系统方法,包括使用共享、联合和非语言,这可能是帮助跨种族被收养者在艺术心理治疗中使用文化相关方法探索其身份的关键。对实践和未来研究的启示研究人员建议,艺术心理治疗师应正式接受文化谦逊培训,以建立反压迫框架。简明语言摘要本文概述了一个研究项目,该项目考察了如何利用艺术心理治疗来探索被跨种族收养的儿童和年轻人的身份。在这种背景下,它试图更好地了解艺术心理治疗师目前如何在与这些儿童的治疗关系中使用艺术制作和创造力。人们认识到,要想成功安置跨种族收养的儿童,他们的身份感和归属感需要得到支持。在英国的一些地区,存在收养后的支持,其中包括获得艺术心理治疗。在这个研究项目中,四位合格的英国艺术心理治疗师接受了采访,希望揭示这些参与者在与这个客户群体合作时认为艺术心理治疗实践的好处和局限性。此外,研究人员还调查了艺术心理治疗师参与这一特定主题领域的动机。参与者还被问及,在处理跨种族收养儿童的种族和收养身份时,是否出现了任何个人挑战,如他们自己的种族背景和/或无意识的偏见。根据研究结果,研究人员提出了一些建议,认识到受训和合格的艺术心理治疗师都需要正式融入文化谦逊。这项小型研究强调了三个主题:艺术心理治疗师、主要照顾者和更广泛的照顾系统的包容作用;儿童主导的方法;以及将文化谦逊融入艺术心理治疗职业的挑战。
