Each workshop, facilitated by two certified art therapists, involved groups of 5 to 13 students. The workshops included 89 students aged 18–51 years, 87 responded after the workshop and 59 during the follow-up. Results indicated a short-term increase in subjective well-being, characterized by heightened positive emotions, life satisfaction, and reduced negative affect. Additionally, the workshop reduced state anxiety and enhanced awareness, fostering both inward self-awareness of feelings and thoughts and outward environmental awareness. A decrease in concerns about social judgments and feelings of loneliness suggested greater self-acceptance and social connection. Predictors of these changes included the perceived therapeutic value of the workshop and group cohesion. Moreover, depressive symptoms were associated with both negative affect and public self-awareness changes. However, follow-up revealed that increases in life satisfaction and loneliness were transient, returning to initial levels, suggesting the need for ongoing interventions and further research on the effects of CATs in group settings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019745562400073X/pdfft?md5=e5eb3bcec30d97bb9ba3e76b758c6ec7&pid=1-s2.0-S019745562400073X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141486065","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}

Approaches to behavioral escalation and suicidality are articulated as examples of sites of practice where drama therapists are often complicit in harmful practices and offer anti-carceral alternatives as harm reduction methods.

In conclusion, adult women with MDD receiving TAU in a psychiatric institution experienced a significant reduction in depressive symptoms and enhancement in global activity, personal, and social functioning when HMT was added to their treatment regimen.

I conducted a descriptive review of the IE literature to determine how IE might manifest itself in music therapy students and professionals as well as potential ways to mitigate IE. IE is highly prevalent and may be especially widespread in students, healthcare professionals, musicians, academics, and people who are from communities who have been marginalized. Music therapy students and professionals may be at heightened risk for IE because they exist at the intersection of a small creative arts profession within various larger healthcare systems. Resultant of the review, I developed a model to name and normalize IE for music therapy students and professionals and provided specific recommendations for mitigating IE to augment the health and wellbeing of music therapy students and professionals. Through exposure to the IE scholarly literature and unpacking unique challenges that music therapy students and professionals encounter, I hope that IE can be named, normalized, and mitigated.

Despite this, little is currently known about the way in which school settings affect the dramatherapy that is delivered within them. This qualitative investigation utilised semi-structured interviews (N = 12) and reflexive thematic analysis to identify the facilitators and barriers of providing dramatherapy in school settings. In addition, the unique experiences of working as a dramatherapist in a school setting were also investigated. Amongst others, the facilitators identified included school as an accessible and safe place for therapy to occur. In addition, the structure provided by the school’s daily and annual timetable, and the support of other school-based professionals and organisations were also identified. The barriers identified related to funding challenges, inappropriate referrals, schools seeking quick results and a lack of access to suitable spaces for therapy to occur. Regarding their experiences of employment, many dramatherapists spoke of working in multiple schools and, whilst some enjoyed the flexibility this offered, many found it challenging to become part of the school community and experienced a sense of isolation whilst working. Feeling like they are lower paid than clinical counterparts, such as colleagues in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), was also raised by those interviewed. These findings suggest that resource investment and investment into teachers’ and other school-based professionals’ knowledge of dramatherapy is warranted. In addition, dramatherapists who work in schools may benefit from community building. Future research, which explores the experience of dramatherapists in other settings is also encouraged.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197455624000534/pdfft?md5=ead4bdd959f1d8696d815ee0bc348865&pid=1-s2.0-S0197455624000534-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140950750","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}
