Augantis susidomėjimas menų terapija, neįgaliųjų meniniu ugdymu, meninės raiškos teikiamos naudos suvokimu, atsiranda menų terapijos kaip socialinės paslaugos teikimo poreikis specialiosiose įstaigose, tačiau kol kas galimybės taikyti menų terapiją yra ribotos. Lietuvoje, menų terapijos (dailės, muzikos, dramos) specialistai dar nėra rengiami, išsilavinimas tampa pagrindine kliūtimi. / Growing interest in art therapy, arts education for the disabled, artistic expression of the perception of benefits, there is a growing need for art therapy as a social service for special facilities, although the possibilities for applying art therapy are limited. In Lithuania art therapy specialists who would focus on such treatment methods as arts, music and drama, are not enough qualified, thus making education a major barrier.

Denna studies syfte är att undersöka empatins betydelse inom tre olika konstnärliga terapier. I denna studie används en hermeneutisk ansats både i metoden och i den analytiska tolkningen. Underlaget för analysen har varit tre intervjuer med tre terapeuter. Empatibegreppet beskrivs utifrån ett utvecklingspsykologiskt perspektiv och dels ur ett psykodynamiskt perspektiv. Utifrån intervjuerna formades fem sammanfattande teman. 1 Det empatiska syftet. 2 Terapeuten som förebild. 3 Konstnärligt skapande. 4 Intersubjektivitet. 5 Förändringsprocess. I diskussionen problematiseras hur empatibegreppet kan användas och om behovet av att beskriva de intersubjektiva processer som är en förutsättning för empati. Den grundläggande intersubjektiva samspelsväven har nära samband med de konstnärliga interaktionsformerna som terapeuterna använder både på ett praktiskt och teoretiskt plan. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of empathy in different artistic therapies. A hermeneutic approach is used in both the method and the analytical reading. The foundation for the analysis has been three interviewers with three therapists. The concept of empathy is described throw a development- psychological perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. Five summarize themes where found from the interviews. 1 The empathic purpose. 2 The therapist as a good example. 3 Artistic creativity. 4 Intersubjectivity. 5 Process of change. In the discussion the empathy-concept is being studied. How it is being used. And a need of describing intersubjective processes which is a prerequisite for empathy. The basic intersubjective interaction has a close relation to the artistic interactionforms which the therapists are using practically and theoretically.

Disaster, community-wide trauma, and epidemics can have devastating effects on a child’s emotional and psychological wellbeing (Wethington, Hahn, Fuqua-Whitley et al., 2008). The 2014-2015 Liberian Ebola epidemic was detrimental to a country still recovering from a 14-year war. In Liberia alone there were 10,678 confirmed cases and 4,810 Ebola deaths (CDC, 2016). The physical, emotional, and psychological toll of this epidemic was extraordinary. An United States non-profit, Playing to Live (PTL), worked alongside the Liberian government, ministries and local and international organizations to find an innovative solution to the psychological and emotional healing of children and families most affected. This solution used best practices in expressive arts therapy, mental health, and train the trainer models. The purposes of these studies were to evaluate the process of the PTL programming, the outcome effects based on pre-and posttests of child participants psychological stress symptoms (PSS), and explore lessons learned and implications for future programming. Process evaluation results indicated positive reactions to programming from both facilitators and child participants. Results also brought forth considerations for future programming. Outcome data from the pre-and post PSS symptoms showed a significant decrease for both 5-months and 3-months of PTL programming. In addition, a significant difference on pre-and post-symptoms for the 5-month and 3-month treatment groups was found, indicating that longer treatment yields greater results. A review of best practices and lessons learned was discussed for future implications for PTL and similar programs.

A Psicanálise Winnicottiana baseia-se na crença de que o viver criativo está ligado à saúde. Winnicott propôs as Consultas Terapêuticas, quando a psicoterapia não era possível e a pessoa poderia ser ajudada com poucos encontros. Criou o Jogo do Rabisco, no qual o contato entre terapeuta e paciente ocorre por meio de desenhos. Entende-se que a soma destas características permite uma articulação desta teoria à prática da Arteterapia, intervenção terapêutica que oferece recursos artísticos para facilitar expressão e comunicação. Objetivou-se com esta investigação, construir uma proposta de intervenção com famílias, em uma prática da Artepsicoterapia pautada na Psicanálise Winnicottiana, para aplicação no contexto institucional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa em Psicologia Clínica, por meio da qual foram atendidas 10 famílias clientes de uma instituição de atenção à violência familiar. O processo psicoterapêutico familiar foi empreendido com a oferta de recursos artísticos disponíveis em uma caixa artística composta por diferentes materiais expressivos e presente nas sessões. Escolheu-se três famílias para aprofundamento da compreensão do processo, com foco na importância dos encontros iniciais na construção do processo terapêutico familiar, no emprego da Arteterapia como facilitadora da comunicação de pensamentos e sentimentos no setting e nos limites e alcances desta forma de terapia. Percebeu-se que as famílias tiveram dificuldades em aderir à intervenção, com interrupções precoces dos atendimentos. Entende-se que este abandono pode ter ocorrido devido à proposta de reflexão sobre as vivências da família, às dores resultantes da violência e pelo questionamento acerca dos papéis que cada pessoa ocupa na família. O uso dos materiais artísticos facilitou e enriqueceu as contribuições das crianças e adolescentes. Complementou também a compreensão dos adultos, com suas escassas, mas reveladoras produções, além de ampliar o entendimento da dinâmica familiar. Apesar das dificuldades encontradas, relacionadas especialmente com o foco na família como o paciente da sessão, na atenção psicológica em instituições para casos de violência familiar, considera-se que observar a família como o paciente é necessário. Por fim, assinalase que a Arteterapia pôde ser uma facilitadora do processo psicoterapêutico das famílias, pois minimiza resistências e amplia o entendimento do grupo, com maiores ganhos proporcionados pela intervenção. / The Winnicotts Psychoanalysis is based on the belief that the creative life is related to health. Winnicott has proposed the Therapeutic Consultations, when the psychotherapy was not possible and the person could be helped with just a few meetings. He has created the Squiggle Game, in which the contact between therapist and patient occurs through drawings. It is understood that the sum of these features allows an articulation of this theory to the practice of Art Therapy, a therapeutic intervention that offers artistic resources to facilitate expression and communication. It was aimed on this research to build a proposal of intervention with families, in a practice of Art Psychotherapy guided by Winnicotts Psychoanalysis, applied to an institutional context. This is a qualitative research in Clinical Psychology, through which 10 families were attended, clients of an institution of attention of family violence cases.. The family psychotherapeutic process was undertaken with the provision of artistic resources available in an \"art box\" consisted of different expressive materials and available in the consultations. It was chose three families to deepen the understanding of the process, focusing on the importance of the initial meetings in the construction of the family therapeutic process, with the use of Art Therapy as a facilitator of communication of thoughts and feelings and on the limits and scope of this form of therapy. It was noticed that families had difficulties to join the intervention, with early discontinuation of care. It is understood that this interruption may have occurred due to the proposal to reflect on family experiences, the pain resulted from the violence and the questions about the roles that each person occupies in the family. The use of artistic materials facilitated and enriched the contributions of children and adolescents. It also supplemented the understanding of adults, with its rare but revealing productions, in addition to improve the understanding of family dynamics. Despite the difficulties encountered, particularly related with the focus on the family as the sessions patient, in psychological care in institutions for family violence cases, it is considered that observing the family as the patient is indeed necessary. Finally, it was noted that the Art Therapy could be a facilitator of the psychotherapeutic process with these families, because it minimizes the resistance and increases the understanding of the group, with higher gains provided by the intervention.

As an MFA candidate at the Florida Atlantic University, I began in figurative painting and ended with abstract ink and pencil drawings in my thesis work. In between was a progression of artistic experimentation in theme, technique and medium to explore issues of female identity and childhood sexual abuse. From a girl trapped in a dark fairytale to a pregnant woman followed by a pedophile to a new mother frustrated that her own ambitions have been usurped, the final transformation of female identity into fierce protector came after confronting memories of child abuse. Using India ink and pencil drawings, my thesis work recreates scenes of a struggle between the same attacker and a powerful mother. She spins her own hair into a delicate, but powerful, barrier that keeps her daughter safe. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014.. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The theoretical and methodological references are drawn from art therapy seen through a phenomenological approach. In this idea it is argued which are the stressful factors of the health work done in ICU and how these factors affect the professionals from this area. This research was carried out with four ICU professionals who had experience in public health attendance. This group had ten meetings where art therapeutic experiments were used. The thoughts that each one of them experienced in the process were gathered as well as the understandings about their artistic productions. The dealing of indicators went through several steps. The speech of the participants was recorded in order to bring out the experienced process. Then they were organized in nucleus to arise main subjects to be analyzed. Verbal language as well as artistic language were both considered. The analysis pointed out indicators, which allowed identifying the situations and feelings that cause stress-related effects to these professionals in their day-by-day work and also at what extend that art therapeutic resources helped them to solve conflicts. The research emphasizes the need to promote groups for conversations and support to the professionals who work in health service. Art therapy proved to be a suitable therapeutic instrument as it provided a space for swapping and solving conflicts and feelings resulted from the stress in face of death and pain / O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar o que os profissionais que atuam em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de hospitais (UTI) revelam sobre as contribuições que o processo da arteterapia oferece para o profissional, e em que medida a arteterapia, utilizando a criação, reverte a situação de estresse. A referência teórica-metodológica usada é a arteterapia dentro de uma abordagem fenomenológica. Nesta concepção discute-se quais são os estressores do serviço de saúde da UTI e como eles atuam sobre os profissionais deste setor. A pesquisa envolveu quatro profissionais de UTI com experiência na rede pública de saúde. Foram realizados dez encontros com este grupo, utilizando-se experimentos em arteterapia, e coletando reflexões de como cada um viveu o seu processo e quais as elaborações que se fizeram presentes frente às suas produções artísticas. O tratamento dos indicadores passou por vários estágios. Tomaram-se as falas dos participantes para indicar o processo vivido, que depois de organizadas em núcleos, proporcionaram o levantamento de temas a serem analisados. Foram consideradas para a análise a linguagem verbal e a linguagem plástica. A análise possibilitou evidenciar indicadores que permitiram identificar quais as situações e sentimentos que, no cotidiano, geram estresse para esses profissionais, como também em que medida os recursos arteterapêuticos auxiliaram para a elaboração de conflitos. A pesquisa enfatiza a necessidade de grupos de apoio e reflexão com os profissionais da área de saúde. A arteterapia mostrou-se um instrumento terapêutico adequado ao proporcionar um território de troca e elaboração de conflitos e sentimentos gerados pelo estresse frente à dor e à morte

It deals with a qualitative research, based in clinical cases interpreted through the lumen of Jungian Analytic Psychology. The expansion occurred always that some unconscious content was integrated to the consciousness in this process. When the unconscious content was retained by mechanisms of defense, pressuring and provoking the increase of the unconscious energetic level, the emergency of a new symbol, enabled by Calatonia and expressed in the mandalas and/or in the process of associations, allowed the transformation of the structure of the consciousness and the assimilation of the unconscious content, that formerly couldn t be assimilated. Both experiences, corporal and artistic, in the process of Calatonia and the accomplishment of mandalas, based on the singularity of the relationship between patient and therapist, reproduced similar conditions of the first relations between people, propitiating the transformation of the complexes and the expansion of consciousness / O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender a experiência de ampliação de consciência, vivida no processo de psicoterapia, com aplicação de calatonia e expressa por meio de realização de mandalas e das subsequentes associações. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada em casos clínicos, interpretados à luz da psicologia analítica junguiana e autores afins. A ampliação ocorreu sempre que, neste processo, algum conteúdo inconsciente foi integrado à consciência. Quando o conteúdo inconsciente encontrava-se retido pelos mecanismos de defesa, pressionando e provocando aumento do nível energético do inconsciente, a emergência de um novo símbolo, possibilitado pela calatonia e expresso nas mandalas e/ou nos processos de associações, permitiu a transformação da estrutura da consciência e a assimilação do conteúdo inconsciente, que, anteriormente, não podia ser assimilado. A experiência conjunta, corporal e artística, no processo de calatonia e realização das mandalas, apoiada na singularidade da relação entre paciente e terapeuta, reproduziu condições semelhantes às das primeiras relações interpessoais, propiciando a transformação dos complexos e a ampliação da consciência

It is necessary to develop interventions that help people to deal with the modern life complexity, challenges, crises and transitions. This study had the motive to develop and evaluate a social emotional competence program done with purpose to facilitate in short term the transition from 4th to 5th grade in a public school. The method used was the intervention-research, in a social clinic context. In spite of, not leading to any assurance, insist on a personal comprehension of the world, of himself and as change agent; emphasizes subject singularity and implies the researcher in the quest of structure, meaning and intervention. (Lévy, 2001; Sèvigny, 2001). Art therapy knowledge, creativity health promotion and social emotional learning, on a contextualized perspective were used to elaborate the program. The program begun with demand construction and students, parents and teachers were interviewed. The intervention lasted eighteen meetings and dealt with the following themes: change and growing as human development stages; self knowledgement; interpersonal relations; problem and conflict resolution techniques and creativity. At the first phase, on 2007, 75 students on the 4th grade participated. On the next year, four months after the school change, 68 students were evaluated: at those, 41 had participated on the intervention and 27 came from other schools and becoming control group. They were evaluated on the following aspects: scholar performance, absence rate, sociometric evaluation, network chart (Sluski, 1997), school description, drawings, teacher s perception and evaluation, parent s interview. Most of the students that participated at the program have showed better than or at least as expected performance, confirming that the intervention contributed to student s adaption on a short term, being effective on developing social emotional abilities / O mundo mudou, as relações interpessoais se modificaram, assim como as práticas educativas, os valores e as representações que se têm da realidade. Há necessidade de intervenções que auxiliem as pessoas a lidar com a complexidade da vida moderna, desafios, crises e transições. Este doutorado teve por finalidade desenvolver e avaliar a efetividade de um programa de promoção de competências sociais e emocionais com intuito de facilitar a transição da 4ª para a 5ª série do ensino fundamental em curto prazo. O método utilizado foi a pesquisa-intervenção / qualitativa, no contexto da clínica-social, pois apesar, de não conduzir a nenhuma certeza, insiste na compreensão subjetiva como modo de apreensão do mundo, de si e como fator de mudança; enfatiza a singularidade do sujeito e implica o pesquisador na busca da estrutura, do sentido e na intervenção. (Lévy, 2001; Sèvigny, 2001). Para a elaboração do programa foram utilizados conhecimentos da arteterapia, criatividade, promoção de saúde e aprendizagem socioemocional, numa perspectiva contextualizada. O programa foi realizado em escola pública e teve início com a construção da demanda, na qual foram ouvidos os alunos, seus pais e professores. A intervenção, propriamente dita, teve a duração de dezoito encontros e abordou os seguintes temas: mudança e crescimento como etapas do desenvolvimento humano; autoconhecimento; relacionamentos interpessoais; técnicas de resolução de problemas e conflitos e criatividade. Da primeira etapa, em 2007, participaram 75 alunos da 4ª série. No ano seguinte, quatro meses após a mudança escolar, foram avaliados 68 alunos: 41 que participaram da intervenção e mudaram para a mesma escola; e 27 que vieram de outras escolas e se constituíram como grupo controle. Os aspectos avaliados foram: desempenho escolar, taxa de absenteísmo, avaliação sociométrica, mapa da rede (Sluski, 1997), descrição da escola, desenhos, avaliação e percepção dos professores e entrevista com pais. A maioria dos alunos que participou do programa teve desempenho melhor ou igual ao esperado, confirmando que a intervenção realizada contribuiu para a adaptação dos alunos em curto prazo, mostrando-se efetiva no desenvolvimento de habilidades sócio-emocionais

A dissertação narra o percurso da pesquisadora em torno do conceito “materialidade", a fim de discutir e ilustrar uma proposta de abordagem imagético-apresentativa, à luz da psicologia analítica. O conceito é cotejado com termos correlatos utilizados por autores que também se ocuparam do tema, como Gaston Bachelard, Alvaro Gouvêa e outros mais alinhados ao pensamento de D. W. Winnicott. Explora, também, aproximações e distanciamentos semânticos em relação a termos similares, como “matéria" e “matéria-prima", para especificar o sentido atribuído à materialidade neste trabalho. A discussão avança com a apresentação de alguns conceitos da psicologia analítica, principalmente sobre a consciência e o aspecto dinâmico da psique na concepção de C. G. Jung. Além disso, tece considerações sobre o processo de individuação numa perspectiva alquímica, tomando a materialidade como uma opus cum natura. A seguir, apoiada em conceitos de James Hillman, propõe o resgate da noção de anima mundi e aisthesis para fundamentar o aspecto apresentativo da materialidade numa relação dialética com a consciência. Preocupa-se em questionar a postura interpretativa em relação à materialidade, quando tomada em termos exclusivamente representacionais, e retoma o método proposto por Jung – pautado numa postura fenomenológica frente às imagens psíquicas – para sustentar a abordagem imagético-apresentativa, diferenciando-a das práticas de terapia com arte ou arteterapia, que abordam a materialidade como recurso expressivo. A dissertação também faz uma breve incursão no tema “processo grupal" no campo da psicologia analítica, uma vez que são utilizados relatos de sessões de um grupo terapêutico-vivencial para ilustrar a discussão. Embora não proponha um estudo de caso do grupo, identifica alguns temas que se constelaram no atendimento. Finalmente, aponta transformações observadas simultaneamente no grupo e na identidade da pesquisadora – que culminaram na elaboração de uma nova proposta de abordagem da materialidade no setting individual e/ou grupal, aqui denominada imagético-apresentativa. / This dissertation relates the path followed by the researcher around the notion of “materiality" in order to discuss and illustrate an imagetical-presentative approach in the light of the Analytical Psychology. This notion is compared to correlative terms used by authors that also worried about it, like Gaston Bachelard, Alvaro Gouvêa and others closer to Winnicott´s thoughts. It also explores semantic similarities (approximations) and differences that refer to some similar terms like “material" and “raw-material" in order to specify the meaning attributed to “materiality" in this research. The discussion moves forward to the presentation of some notions in the Analytical Psychology field – mainly about consciousness and the dynamic aspect of the psyche, according to C.G.Jung. Besides, the research makes some considerations about the individuation process under an alchemical perspective, taking “materiality" as an "opus cum natura". Afterwards, supported by James Hillman, it proposes the recuperation of "anima mundi" and "aisthesis" notions in order to sustain the presentative aspect of materiality in a dialectical relation with the consciousness. The research aims at questioning the interpretative posture related to materiality when taken exclusively as representational terms and reviews the method proposed by Jung, under a phenomenological point of view towards the psychic images in order to support the proposal of an imagetical-presentative approach, distinguishing it from the therapy practices with arts or art therapy – that consider materiality as an expressive resource. It also makes an incursion in the topic “group process" in the Analytical Psychology field – as some reports of sessions of an experiential group are used in order to illustrate the discussion. Although it does not propose a case study of the group, this dissertation identifies some topics that were constellated throughout the sessions. Finally, this research points transformations observed simultaneously in the group and in the identity of the researcher that ended up in the elaboration of a new proposal towards materiality in the individual/group setting – that here is called imagetical-presentative.

Not always so remarkable but still most important. Every day. The beautiful, small, horrible and often insignificant experiences that makes us who we are, fascinates me. You see, choose and become with no interruption. The constant change inspires me.  This is a text circulating around an artistic practice, it´s an illustration of a why how what. Or, maybe more an attempt to put words onto a wish to see for tracing, where an aim is being become became. Be
