The therapists, who are also the co-researchers, initiated and took part in all stages of the study. They provided the initial directions for a semi-structured interview which was administered to them by the external researchers. These two external researchers then analyzed the interview data according to the principles of thematic analysis (Clarke &amp; Braun, 2014), after which four focus groups were held to discuss the findings. The findings resulted in a preliminary model for working with parents in the education system that consists of the goals, approaches, the parents and arts therapists it is designed for, the work contract, how the arts are introduced, the main types of interventions, contact with the educational staff, as well as the difficulties. Alongside dilemmas related to the accuracy of the model, and the challenges regarding its application, parental accompaniment is a growing trend and, in many cases, can lead to change or to a better understanding of the importance of this change.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102173"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141323115","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}

Pharmacological treatment is typically the first choice, but Humanistic Music Therapy (HMT) may offer additional benefits when added to Treatment As Usual (TAU). This single-arm pilot study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Group HMT as an intervention for adult women diagnosed with MDD, in a psychiatric institution. The study comprised 12 outpatient women with MDD who received more than one year of pharmacological treatment. A pre-test/post-test design using the Hamilton Depression (HAM-D-21), Personal and Social Performance (PSP), and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scales were employed to evaluate symptom severity and patient changes. Results indicated a significant decrease in HAM-D scores from 15.7 to 6.6 (p ≤ .005), a notable improvement in personal and social functioning (PSP scale) (p ≤ .05), and an increase in global activity level (GAF scale) (p ≤ .05). 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. This study is limited by being non-randomized, unblinded, and, with a small population. A randomized controlled trials are required to confirm the benefits of HMT.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276648","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}

IE commonly occurs in a variety of students and professionals and is associated with negative affective states as well as occupational burnout. The purpose of this descriptive review was to survey the existing IE literature and describe, normalize, and mitigate IE specific to music therapy students and professionals. 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. Implications for academic and clinical training, limitations of the literature, suggestions for future research, and recommendations for continuing education to prevent and mitigate IE are provided.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102172"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141302825","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}

This qualitative study explored the future time perspectives of older adults as expressed through digital photocollage. It is part of a larger project aimed at developing an online arts-based intervention for community dwelling older adults. Twenty-four Italian and Israeli adults aged 78–92 participated in a brief therapeutic online intervention integrating Dignity Therapy and digital photocollage. Visual and verbal data were analyzed in an inductive framework, through polytextual thematic analysis . Four themes were generated. The first three reflected participants’ attitudes and wishes for the future. The fourth theme reflected the evolution of future time perspectives during the creative process. Findings indicated that despite the short-term nature of the creative intervention, and the complex topic at hand, participants expressed multiple future time perspectives. The findings highlight how digital and artistic techniques promote the expression and expansion of older adults’ future time perspectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47590,"journal":{"name":"Arts in Psychotherapy","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 102170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141043938","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}

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":"89 ","pages":"Article 102168"},"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}

Theoretical models that are culturally grounded, resource-oriented, and adopting an ecological, multisystemic lens are presented. The impacts of interpersonal trauma, trauma from systemic oppression, collective trauma, and intergenerational trauma are explored within the context of bereavement support. Diverse music therapy approaches to support the various trauma and grief intersections are shared. Lastly, reflection questions to support a culturally humble practice are offered for those committed to providing meaningful and socially conscious support for youth who have experienced trauma and loss.

From the beginning, its characteristics as a group process and therapeutic potential have been discussed. As this increasingly more common approach to storytelling most often seeks to stimulate individual and/or communal emotional growth/healing, the literature on it is also increasing. However, a significant portion of said literature has been focused on anecdotal type of reporting. Given the latter, we put together a systematic review of the literature on PT, geared towards identifying the literature sources that report evaluations, either qualitative or quantitative, of PT applications. Hence, our aim was to produce a comprehensive summary of the effects that have been reported in evaluation-centered studies of PT applications of all scopes. We searched four major electronic databases (PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus) for PT interventions between 1990 and June 2023. The quality of the studies gathered was evaluated by considering both the existence or absence of a control group and the reliability of the evaluation strategies employed, thus controlling for the risk of bias, consistent with the PRISMA protocol (Liberati et al. (2009)). The database search successfully identified 79 peer-reviewed articles on the subject of PT. Of these, 18 were English-written articles that reported on the use of evaluative measures concerning PT programs. The populations that benefited from these programs included children, adults, and older adults. Additionally, these articles included the application of PT in different contexts, from improving language skills to the promotion of mental health among individuals and/or communities. The results gathered lend support to the successful use of PT in enhancing cognitive, social, and emotional skills.
