The writing group consisted of 4–6 participants who met 18 times during 2019. The group activities followed the RES poetry therapy model, and the poetry therapy intervention was implemented following the Reflective and Transformative Writing Process Model. The aim of the study was to describe the methods used in the group and to analyze the themes identified in the participants’ written reflections on their experiences with their illness. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: 1) What kinds of things were found meaningful by the participants in writing about their experiences with breast cancer? 2) How were these things thematized through the process of facilitated reflective and transformative writing? Participants’ writings were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three main themes, along with several sub-themes, were identified. The main themes were: 1) being seen and heard as a breast cancer survivor, 2) the traces left by the disease, and 3) I live and breathe despite the disease. This study provides new insights into how breast cancer becomes integrated into a person’s selfhood and life story.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197455624000790/pdfft?md5=c67b7cb70504a0bd75b23f427f2f6729&pid=1-s2.0-S0197455624000790-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141844420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural diversity refers to the differences that exist among groups of people with definable and unique cultural backgrounds. Inclusion puts diversity in practice by respecting and valuing diverse individuals and groups. Diversity representation in art therapy is “seeing” people and ensuring that their viewpoints can be found and represented. Cultural competence in art therapy research is the ability to take culture into account as a central variable that affects every aspect of a study; this fosters the interest, integrity, and dignity of participants and the diverse cultural context of their lives. A systematic review of art therapy research was conducted to provide a critical evaluation of data on diversity representation within existing studies conducted between 2010 – 2020. The ADDRESSING acronym, which evaluates nine aspects of cultural identity, is utilized as a guide for assessment and data collection.
