This paper presents an art therapy programme conducted over 40 sessions delivered over a two-year period (2022–2024) to a group of preadolescents receiving support from STC. The findings indicate that the selected materials promoted a creative process, through which participants were able to modulate their aggressive impulses and develop emotional regulation strategies. Furthermore, the use of a shared symbolic language enabled the group to express aspects of their traumatic experiences through colour and texture, generating a visual narrative of pain and resilience. Based on the outcomes observed, this case study suggests that group art therapy for children affected by trauma provides a valuable space for fostering adaptive inter- and intrapersonal skills, thereby enhancing their cognitive, emotional, and social resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102415"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145996551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this in-depth case study, a qualitative methodology was used, applying Thematic Analysis to interviews conducted with five participants from the PPT group. The resulting themes were then crossed with the description of the audiovisual recording of the session and with responses from the respective Helpful Aspects of Therapy (HAT) questionnaires. Analysis revealed three principal themes: 1) Narrative as a meeting point; 2) Exploring vertical and transversal dimensions of the story: from the individual to the sociopolitical; and 3. Beyond the Narrative. The findings suggest that PPT, as a group therapy setting, served as a safe and affirming space for the protagonist, exploring his gender expression, fostering not only a sense of belonging and acceptance but also greater awareness of personal resources and of the complex roots of their suffering.

Qualitative Study 2 conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 experienced art therapists, and quantitative Study 3 examined the perceptions of 40 creative arts therapists across six supervision groups. To conduct this integrative synthesis, a multi-layered analytic framework was applied combining cross-study synthesis and thematic triangulation. This served to identify key cross-study themes showing that EDPP supervision enhanced reflective capacity, supported mentalization, strengthened the supervisory alliance, and fostered the consolidation of professional identity. The EDPP provided a structured yet flexible framework that encouraged playfulness and clinical processing through visual and verbal integration. While the online format expanded accessibility, the embodied and sensory aspects of artmaking were best supported by in-person settings. Each methodological strand contributed unique insights which, when synthesized, shed light on the conceptual contributions of the EDPP model to art-based clinical supervision. Taken together, these outcomes suggest that the EDPP model offers a valuable, evidence-based framework for supervision and training in the creative arts therapies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102408"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145791062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the traditional approaches focus on cognitive strategies to reduce negative psychological outcomes (e.g., burden). Presently, there is a lack of strengths-based programs designed to enhance positive aspects of caregiver health. Although the benefits of dance/movement therapy (DMT) have been shown with other populations, it is underexplored for caregivers apart from their loved one with dementia. For the current study, ten women participated in the first DMT program for dementia caregivers, which was evaluated with a convergent mixed-methods design. Caregiver burden and resilience was assessed at baseline and follow-up, and therapeutic factors of DMT were assessed at three time points immediately following DMT (week 3, 4, and 5). Quantitative analyses showed that caregiving burden was significantly reduced, and resilience did increase, but not significantly. Qualitative findings from journal entries and semi-structured interviews revealed that DMT enhanced coping through bolstering resilience factors such as self-efficacy and cognitive reframing. Together, these findings suggest that DMT shows promise as an intervention which can meaningfully decrease burden and enhance resilience factors for caregivers. More research is needed which measures outcomes and mechanisms of DMT for caregivers in the context of dementia care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145791064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
