Abstract

Theories of art therapy cite the complex triangular relationship of this discipline that includes the therapist-client, client-artwork and therapist-artwork relationships. Yet, despite its importance, this triangular relationship has been insufficiently investigated. In this paper, we describe the development of a tool for the Observation of Art Therapy Relationships (OART) that assesses client-artwork and client-therapist interactions in art therapy based on conceptualizations of Attachment Theory. The development of the OART included three stages: a) An inductive stage in which researchers and experienced art therapists collaborated in defining observable phenomena that may shed light on the nature of the therapist-client and client-artwork relationships; b) A deductive stage, in which the phenomena defined in the inductive stage were incorporated into the structuring of an observational tool. 3. A qualitative examination of the OART in therapeutic settings. Challenges that have arisen and that may indicate the need for further work on the OART are discussed.

艺术治疗关系观察(OART):一个用于研究艺术治疗中治疗师-来访者和来访者-艺术品关系的观察工具

艺术治疗理论引用了这一学科复杂的三角关系，包括治疗师-客户、客户-艺术品和治疗师-艺术品的关系。然而，尽管它很重要，但这种三角关系尚未得到充分的研究。在本文中，我们描述了一种用于观察艺术治疗关系(OART)的工具的开发，该工具基于依恋理论的概念来评估艺术治疗中客户-艺术品和客户-治疗师的互动。OART的发展包括三个阶段:a)归纳阶段，研究人员和经验丰富的艺术治疗师合作定义可观察到的现象，这些现象可能揭示治疗师-客户和客户-艺术品关系的本质;b)演绎阶段，在此阶段中，归纳阶段中定义的现象被纳入观察工具的结构中。3. 治疗环境中OART的定性检查。会议讨论了已经出现的挑战，这些挑战可能表明需要进一步开展OART工作。
