At times, the contributions it made to the therapy seemed significant and too pivotal to ignore.Context: Adult clients in private art therapy practice in the UK.Approach: An overview of the present discourse on response art is provided, followed by an exploration of related theories including Stern’s ‘attunement’, Winnicott’s ‘holding’ and Bion’s ‘container-contained’. An outline of how response art is integrated into a session is presented and illustrated with three vignettes.Outcomes: Response art was useful for the clients included in this paper when frozen emotionally or struggling to find words. It helped with restarting art making, trusting the therapist, reframing experiences, and encouraging emotional processing.Conclusions: Attunement was key in the decision-making and implementation of a creative response. The therapist’s vulnerability in exposing their creative and mental processes appeared to be a valuable model for the client. The sounds (or silences) and gestures made during the making of the response art also appeared to be significant for the clients.Implications for research: Further research into benefits, risks and influencing factors when using response art would be instructive.Plain-language summary Traditionally the art therapist observes the client making art. During lockdown, I began to explore making artwork at the same time as the client. I was working online with individual adult clients in private practice with the aim of responding to what they brought to the session. The contributions that the response artwork made to the therapy seemed significant and too important to ignore. An overview of the current discussion around response art is outlined. This is followed by looking at how it could relate to theory. An outline is given of how it was introduced and used within sessions, and three examples are offered to illustrate. Response art seemed to be useful when the clients included in this paper were stuck emotionally or could find no words. It helped them to restart their own art making and processing. Sometimes it appeared easier for the clients to trust what they saw in the response artwork, than it was for them to trust the therapist. Through the response art I hoped to offer another view point and encourage the clients towards alternate ways of thinking. Empathy is of key importance in art therapy. In the making of response artwork, I attempted to demonstrate my empathy for my clients. I became vulnerable in the process of artmaking, which appeared be a helpful model for the clients. The sounds (or silences) and gestures made by the therapist during the making of the response, also appeared to be significant for the clients. More research into the benefits, risks and influencing factors when using response art would be useful. It would be helpful to have a better un","PeriodicalId":39969,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art Therapy: Inscape","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through surveys, participant artwork and written responses, and researcher observation. Case studies were presented using thick description with interpretive and linked narratives to interpret the results.Results Participant experiences demonstrated that the pilot study interventions promoted four outcomes: (1) authentic and meaningful exchanges and engagement with veterans (2) challenged to think about veterans’ experiences more deeply, (3) inspired to show support for people who have served in the military in new ways, and (4) promoted empathy and understanding.Conclusions Results illustrate how active participation in an art exhibition through response art making can help to increase understanding of people with different lived experiences by promoting authentic and meaningful exchanges through art.Implications for practice/policy/future research Interdisciplinary partnerships between art therapists and museum professionals can support the development of programming that bridges divides between groups with different lived experiences and prompts social change through participatory action.Plain-language summary Civilian citizens often lack a complete understanding of veteran experiences and military culture. A civilian citizen is a person who has not serve in the armed forces, and therefore may hold stereotypical beliefs or limited knowledge about veteran experiences.Misunderstandings and assumptions between civilian citizens and veterans can result in a cultural gap, often referred to as the military-civilian divide. This divide can impact the amount and quality of social support veterans receive from civilian citizens as they transition from the military back to civilian life.Poor social support may increase veterans’ risk for mental health issues. Therefore, there is a need for increased understanding of veteran experiences. Public spaces, like art museums, can help veteran experiences to be seen and heard by the larger civilian population.This study explores the experiences of a group of civilian citizens who participated in a workshop. The group of civilian participants viewed a veteran art exhibition and then engaged in making response art.
