Book Review. Art Therapy for Social Justice: Radical Intersections. Edited by Savneet K. Talwar.
No full textThis book is a must read for art therapists around the world. Whilst it is born of, and intrinsically related to, its context in the USA, the issues it raises are important for us all. The main message of the book is that art therapy needs to shift its focus away from treatments for individualised pathologies – deficit models, to practices that prioritise radical caring and social justice based on the recognition that social, political and cultural conditions shape our lives and are responsible for mental health problems disproportionately affecting the less advantaged
Shifting Frames: Reflections on filmmaking and the unconscious in the art practice of an art therapist
Get PDFThis article looks at a series of nine video films the author made over a six-year period. The context in which they were produced is explained but while the context is important the author sees the films primarily as a coherent body of work within his art practice. Consideration is given to how the art practice of this art therapist might be framed. The aim of the article is to think about the ways in which meaning is made in the films. I make use of a critical visual methodology (Rose, 2001) and draw upon film theory to consider the impact of unconscious processes in the construction of meaning. Keywords: digital media, the unconscious, art practice, visual methodology, film theory, psychoanalysis, art therapist
Processing Emotions and Memorising Coursework Through Memory Drawing (Icelandic Version)
No full textGerður var samanburður á því hversu vel 134 þátttakendur í megindlegri rannsókn mundu teiknuð og skrifuð orð. Níu vikum eftir að þátttakendurnir lögðu orðin á minnið mundu þeir að jafnaði fimmfalt fleiri teiknuð orð en skrifuð. Enginn munur var á því hversu mörg orð þátttakendurnir mundu þegar þau voru rifjuð upp strax eftir að þau voru teiknuð eða skrifuð. Einnig var framkvæmd eigindleg tilviksrannsókn sem sýndi hvernig minnisteikning getur auðveldað nám. Minnisteikningin og meðferðarferlið gaf vísbendingar um að viðkvæmar tilfinningar gætu komið upp á yfirborðið í teikniferlinu og að mögulegt væri að vinna úr þeim í gegnum slíka teikningu. Kenningar og aðferðir listmeðferðar reyndust mikilvægar við að skilja og útskýra hvernig minnisteikning hefur áhrif á úrvinnslu tilfinninga og hjálpar fólki að muna námsefni. Einnig reyndist mikilvægt að hafa umgjörð listmeðferðar til hliðsjónar þegar siðferðisleg mörk fyrir minnisteikningaraðferðina voru ígrunduð með það að markmiði að skapa öruggt rými fyrir nemendur og skjólstæðinga sem búa til minnisteikningar í meðferð eða námi.

Preface
Get PDFDespite its many famous female and queer icons, Decadence is still perceived as a male domain of aesthetic production. The narrowness of this perception does not do justice to the large proportion of female Decadent writers and artists who, often subversively, collapsed strict gender binaries. In 1979, Linda Dowling asserted that the New Woman and Decadence were ‘twin avatars of the “New”’. Following Dowling, Sally Ledger observed in 2007 that ‘the discursive and aesthetic resonance between aestheticism, the Decadence and the New Woman writing is indisputable. For the cultural movement that embraced aestheticism and Decadence was broader and more eclectic than is sometimes allowed.’ Ledger also agreed with Laurel Brake ‘that “Impressionism, feminism, naturalism, dandyism, symbolism, and classicism all participate in the politics of decadence in the nineties” and with Linda K. Hughes’ account of aestheticism’s ability to combine “everything from impressionist nature poems to perverse sexualities”.’ Ledger’s comments frame the purpose of this issue of Volupté, which seeks to re-establish the creative importance of female Decadent authorship by emphasizing its international scope

Book Review. Forensic Arts Therapies: Anthology of Practice and Research. Edited by Kate Rothwell
No full textIntrigued by the title, Forensic Arts Therapies: Anthology of Practice and Research, impressed with the formation of the Forensic Arts Therapies Advisory Group (FATAG), and inspired by the aspirations of this group of dedicated arts therapists, I readily immersed myself into this edited text. There are contributions by art therapists, dance movement therapists, drama therapists and music therapists. Cross-discipline collaboration, showcasing how these modalities can successfully work together and how these can promote therapeutic work with complex forensic populations, are included and serve to further model best practices. Given the range of perspectives, contexts and ways of working, as positioned by each of the arts therapist contributor, this book is an informed culmination of practical, insightful and useful information, and is seamlessly sewn together by its editor, Kate Rothwell
Book Review. Learning Along the Way: Further Reflections on Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. by Patrick Casement
No full textUnless I am mistaken this is to be Patrick Casement’s final book and if I have got this wrong, then his book will help me think about what I might learn from my mistake. Well, who might not make a slip faced with these, the final words of a psychoanalyst who has influenced generations of not only psychoanalysts but also psychotherapists, social workers, counsellors and arts therapists? In this sense the book could be read as a testament in which Casement reflects upon his life’s work and the essential questions and values that have driven his passionate commitment to psychoanalysis over the past fifty years
