Abstract The integration of somatic approaches in art therapy can counter the trauma of microaggressions. By adopting a power-from-within stance, art therapists can facilitate sessions for clients to affirm their LGBTQIA+ identities while resisting the impact of discrimination. This article, co-written by an art therapist and client, provides lived experience examples of somatic art therapy: Somatic Experiencing® integrated with body tracing, and sensorimotor art therapy (the Clay Field®). The authors concur that somatically integrated art therapy has helped replace automized behavioral patterns based on fear with behavioral choices that emerged from a place of safety. Implications for therapeutic alliance and power dynamics within art therapy sessions are explored as tenets of body-based self-reflection.

Abstract The multicultural orientation framework centers on three pillars of cultural humility, cultural opportunities, and cultural comfort. Cultural humility is the foundational pillar that encompasses intrapersonal and interpersonal essence of which cultural self-awareness is a vital component. Cultural self-awareness involves an awareness of a therapist’s cultural and social identities, beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors. Addressing self-awareness through self-portraiture offers a reflective process for self-exploration.

Patricia Townsend explores the complexities of what it means to be an artist in her book Creative States of Mind: Psychoanalysis and the Artist’s Process by questioning the internal and external states of an artist and their approach to art-making as it relates to psychoanalytic theory. Drawing from the work of psychoanalysts such as, Donald Winnicott, Melanie Klein, and Christopher Bollas, Townsend provides insight into the stages of the creative process as it evolves from the artists unconscious into a finished artwork. Townsend’s background is in both art and psychoanalysis. Her art practice centers on moving image, photography, and installations. She obtained a PhD from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, where she completed much of her research on this topic. In the introduction, Townsend states that she is “interested not only in what artists do as they make a new work but also how they feel” (p. 2). Throughout the book, she argues that there are multiple stages to an artist’s creative process. She breaks down these stages chapter to chapter starting with the “pre-sense” or first unconscious connection an artist may have with a potential idea for an artwork, to its final release into the world for exhibition. Her investigation leads us into the internal and external influences of how an artist develops an idea. Beyond the “pre-sense” and development of an idea, later stages include the artists relationship to their medium, state of mind during creation, experiences of playfulness and also aggression, and how the space of their studio or canvas can act as a container for creative productivity. Her research methods into the artist’s process consist of a heuristic study on Townsend’s own experience as an artist, interviews with 33 artists she has direct access to, and an extensive literature review of psychoanalytic theory as it relates to the research subjects. For example, Townsend draws a connection between early childhood attachment, or the mother-infant relationship, and how an artist forms a relationship to their artwork. She discusses Winnicott’s concept of a transitional object and transitional phenomena as the transition an artist might have during the “pre-sense” stage, where their unconscious connection or spark of artistic inspiration becomes a potential idea that requires further investigation. In each chapter, Townsend provides detailed examples of artists experience along with theoretical text that bring into question the artist’s process, making it easily digestible for the reader. She encompasses the artist experience in what it means to be human as the artist yearns to connect with themselves and the outside world through visual expression. As an art therapist, I find there is a dual identity between the artist and therapist self within our field. Townsend infuses the two, allowing us as clinicians the space to question our own relationship to art-making and the therapeutic value it holds. It would be int
帕特里夏·汤森(Patricia Townsend)在她的《创造性心态:心理分析和艺术家的过程》(Creative States of Mind:Psychoanalysis and the artist’s Process)一书中,通过质疑艺术家的内部和外部状态,以及他们与精神分析理论相关的艺术创作方法,探讨了作为一名艺术家意味着什么的复杂性。汤森借鉴了唐纳德·温尼科特、梅兰妮·克莱因和克里斯托弗·博拉斯等精神分析学家的作品,深入了解了创作过程的各个阶段,从艺术家的无意识演变为最终的艺术品。汤森的背景是艺术和精神分析。她的艺术实践以运动图像、摄影和装置为中心。她获得了伦敦大学学院斯莱德美术学院的博士学位,在那里她完成了关于这个主题的大部分研究。汤森在引言中表示,她“不仅对艺术家在创作新作品时做什么感兴趣,还对他们的感受感兴趣”(第2页)。在整本书中,她认为艺术家的创作过程有多个阶段。她将这些阶段一章接一章地分解,从艺术家可能与艺术品的潜在想法之间的“预先感觉”或第一次无意识的联系开始,直到作品最终发布到世界上进行展览。她的调查使我们了解了艺术家如何发展一种想法的内部和外部影响。除了“前感觉”和想法的发展之外,后期阶段还包括艺术家与媒介的关系、创作过程中的心态、嬉戏和攻击的体验,以及他们工作室或画布的空间如何成为创造性生产力的容器。她对艺术家过程的研究方法包括对汤森自己作为艺术家的经历进行启发式研究,采访她可以直接接触到的33位艺术家,以及对与研究主题相关的精神分析理论进行广泛的文献综述。例如,汤森将幼儿依恋或母婴关系与艺术家如何与他们的艺术作品形成关系联系起来。她讨论了温尼科特关于过渡对象和过渡现象的概念,这些过渡对象和现象是艺术家在“前感觉”阶段可能发生的过渡,在这个阶段,它们之间的无意识联系或艺术灵感的火花成为了一个需要进一步研究的潜在想法。在每一章中,汤森都提供了艺术家经历的详细例子,以及对艺术家过程提出质疑的理论文本,使读者易于理解。当艺术家渴望通过视觉表达与自己和外部世界建立联系时,她将艺术家的体验包含在人的意义中。作为一名艺术治疗师,我发现在我们的领域里,艺术家和治疗师之间存在着双重身份。汤森将两者融合在一起,让我们作为临床医生有空间质疑我们自己与艺术创作的关系及其所具有的治疗价值。如果能更多地了解汤森作为一名精神分析师的职业身份,那将是一件有趣的事情,因为这与她的艺术实践有关。我很想知道这是否比这本书中的艺术家同行更能影响她的创作过程。尽管她直接讲述了自己的艺术过程,但我发现她突出了从艺术家的角度进行创作的行为,而没有充分考虑她的精神分析背景。总的来说,我会向任何有创造力的、专业的艺术家或治疗师推荐这本书,他们有兴趣了解作为一名艺术家的精神分析理论以及艺术品是如何实现的。
