Abstract

This article conceptualizes the field of ‘visual communication and mental health’, prioritizing the question of how visual imagery is experienced. Taking as its starting point the challenge of overcoming stigma and the limitations of visual clichés of depression and mental illness, the author argues for a dynamic, relational model of communications, foregrounding lived experience. To illuminate the psychosocial impacts and potential benefits of creative engagement with visual media, she draws on understandings of symbolic communication, derived in particular from the work of DW Winnicott and the British Independent tradition of psychoanalysis. The imagery discussed includes stock and campaign imagery, conceptual/expressive artwork and a virtual reality (VR) production that extends an innovative approach to mental health literacy by First Nations artists.

视觉传达和心理健康

这篇文章概念化了“视觉传达和心理健康”的领域，优先考虑了如何体验视觉图像的问题。作者以克服耻辱感的挑战和抑郁症和精神疾病的视觉刻板印象的局限性为出发点，提出了一种动态的、关系的交流模式，突出了生活经验。为了阐明与视觉媒体创造性接触的社会心理影响和潜在好处，她借鉴了对符号沟通的理解，特别是来自DW Winnicott的工作和英国独立精神分析传统。讨论的图像包括库存和运动图像、概念/表达艺术作品和虚拟现实(VR)制作，该制作扩展了第一民族艺术家对心理健康素养的创新方法。
