Download or read book The Effect of Acculturation and Re acculturation written by Jessica Wei and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an international student studying art therapy in the United States, I noticed the importance of cultural belongingness and self-identity in the practice of art therapy. During my studies in the United States, I acculturated voluntarily and involuntarily. During this acculturation process, I found my passion and decided to pursue a career in the field of art therapy back home in mainland China. I want to introduce this counseling approach to Chinese people so that they can benefit from this creative process. With the outbreak of Covid-19, I had an opportunity to return home and secure internships in two CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Center) within the Taikang System: Taikang Community Daqinggu, and Taikang Community Shen Garden. I worked with Chinese older adults, and individuals with cognitive impairments. During this experience, I found that I needed to re-acculturate to my birth culture to best provide art therapy services. This process of acculturation and re-acculturation affected my cultural identity and the way I understand and practice art therapy. This project explores my acculturation and re-acculturation process as a western-trained emerging art therapist. I use art therapy research and autoethnography to reflect upon my experiences during this inquiry.
Download or read book Using Art Therapy with Diverse Populations written by Sangeeta Prasad and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether working in urban areas with high levels of cultural diversity, providing art therapy to 'unique' populations such as prisoners or asylums seekers, or introducing art therapy programs to parts of the world in which it is not yet established, it is essential that therapists understand the importance of practicing in a culturally sensitive manner. This comprehensive book considers how culture impacts the practice of art therapy in a variety of settings. With contributions from experienced art therapists who have worked in diverse environments, this book attempts to understand and highlight the specific cultural, subcultural and ethnic influences that inform art therapy treatment. It addresses variable factors including setting, population, environment and ability, and how they influence art therapy approaches. It also considers how cultural differences can impact physical art making through choices of color, symbol and metaphor. Each chapter provides a framework showing how art therapy techniques have been used in order to successfully work with distinct populations. This book will provide practitioners with ideas for how to adapt art therapy training and approaches to suit the setting and meet the needs of a vast range of populations. Full of informative case studies, this book will be invaluable reading for art therapists and students of art therapy.
Download or read book Multicultural Family Art Therapy written by Christine Kerr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the family art therapist understand the complexities of another’s cultural diversity? What are international family therapist’s perspectives on treatment? These questions and more are explored in Multicultural Family Art Therapy, a text that demonstrates how to practice psychotherapy within an ethnocultural and empathetic context. Each international author presents their clinical perspective and cultural family therapy narrative, thereby giving readers the structural framework they need to work successfully with clients with diverse ethnic backgrounds different from their own. A wide range of international contributors provide their perspectives on visual symbols and content from America, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Australia, Israel, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Trinidad, Central America, and Brazil. They also address a diversity of theoretical orientations, including attachment, solution-focused, narrative, parent-child, and brief art therapy, and write about issues such as indigenous populations, immigration, acculturation, identity formation, and cultural isolation. At the core of this new text is the realization that family art therapy should address not only the diversity of theory, but also the diversity of international practice.
Download or read book Online sourced Video Collage in Therapy with Asian Immigrants Experiencing Acculturation Difficulties written by Dustin Ryan Yu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research suggests many forms of acculturation stress and difficulties experienced by Asian immigrants, including language barriers, susceptibility to mental illness, academic and occupational pressures, and shifts in sense of identity. Using a literature review and a sample grant proposal, this thesis explores the potential therapeutic benefits of art therapy with this population. More specifically, a proposed intervention intends to provide therapeutic benefits based on converging interdisciplinary research and this author's personal art-making process. This intervention incorporates an online-sourced video collage (OSVC) method to help reduce any acculturative difficulties Asian immigrants may be experiencing. Currently, there is limited to no research relating to the components of collaging appropriated video as an intervention. The intervention proposes a 6-to-10-week program that helps participants learn video-making skills, process ideas with an art therapist, and potentially develop their sense of identity. Connections between acculturation difficulties and potential benefits of using this intervention are explored throughout. This research ultimately looks towards the future, and attempts to fulfill a niche in the art therapy field that demands attention. Keywords: Asian, immigrants, acculturation, art therapy, video, collage, technology, digital media, appropriation, research, culture.
Download or read book Cultural Humility in Art Therapy written by Louvenia Jackson and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing the concept of cultural humility, this guide offers a new perspective to the field of art therapy practice and theory. It explores cultural humility in art therapy research and assessment, clinical and community-based practice, social justice, self-care and pedagogy. The notion of cultural humility addresses the power differential and encourages individuals and institutions to examine privilege within social constructs. It emphasizes self-reflection and the ability of knowing one's self in order to allow the art therapist to appropriately interact with their client, whilst being mindful of their own bias, assumptions and beliefs. Each chapter ends with a reflective exercise. Offering practical guidance to this increasingly recognised concept, Cultural Humility in Art Therapy is essential to those wanting to move toward an unbiased social justice.

The structure of Heartland Health Outreach's International FACES program, as well as the school and home environment of participating youths is detailed. The specific 12 session intervention outlined in this paper is aimed at helping adolescents negotiate the process of acculturation to life in the United States by providing adjunctive art therapy sessions to refugee adolescents participating in their school's Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program.

Download or read book IDENTITY AND ART THERAPY written by Maxine Borowsky Junge and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to give art therapy identity the front and center position it deserves. Despite efforts toward clarity, there will nevertheless remain many contradictory notions, often paradoxically existing at the same time. This is the nature of identity and of art therapy’s identity. “Art therapy” is neither a form of artist nor a form of therapist, but rather a whole new field – a separate and special profession with core values and attributes of its own that must lead to a special and separate identity. Chapter 1 is the “Introduction” to this book. In Chapter 2, “Images of Identity,” the basic groundwork is laid describing definitions of personal and professional identity and discussion of the concept of “intersectionality.” Chapter 3, “Living in the Real World,” discusses some unique problems faced by art therapists as they strive to achieve personal and professional identity and credibility. Chapter 4, “Essays on Identity by Art Therapists,” contains 22 essays by prominent art therapists who were invited to contribute their ideas. These essays can be considered different “readings” of what identity is in the art therapy field. Chapter 5, “Identity Initiative, Steps Toward a New Definition: An Action Plan,” describes a two-year process, including all segments of the art therapy community, to achieve and promulgate a shared public professional identity. Chapter 6 underscores “Conclusions” to discover some baseline information about identity for students entering graduate art therapy programs. A brief questionnaire was given to three art therapy master’s program directors to conduct this survey with their entering students in the fall 2012. An important and essential discussion of the nuances of identity by the art therapy community is a significant intention of the book. Identity and Art Therapy is primarily written for art therapists–both experienced and novice. It is for people who teach now and for those thinking about entering the field in the future.

Academic and clinical applications are presented. Chapter 9 explores humankind’s search for inner and outer meaning after the tragedy of September 11.
