Quantitative and qualitative questionnaires and a post-procedure reflective focus group evaluated participants’ baseline experiences and the perceived usefulness of VTS to influence observation and bias awareness. Qualitative data indicated VTS improved observation skills and enhanced awareness of implicit biases. Although the one statistically significant result questioned students’ continued interest in VTS, 3 non-significant items on quantitative measures reflected gains regarding VTS to improve communication with patients, and to aid in determining implicit biases within health fields. The significance of VTS for art therapy and medical education is its potential to increase awareness of cultural biases that could impact assessment skills.Keywords: Implicit biasassessmentart therapymedical humanitiesVisual Thinking Strategies Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingAmerican Association of Medical Colleges.Notes on contributorsHolly Feen-CalliganHolly Feen-Calligan, PhD, ATR-BC, is an associate professor and coordinator of the art therapy program, Wayne State University (WSU), Detroit, MI.Grace SerraGrace Serra, MA, is curator of the WSU art collection.

But the world today has greatly changed. In this commentary, we—two art therapists from different generations, nationalities, and life circumstances—share perspectives on art therapy research over time and in new locales. Kai Ying Huang is an educator and researcher at The University of Taipei in Taiwan, the country’s only masters-level art therapy program. Lynn Kapitan retired from a long career at Mount Mary University in the U.S., where Kai completed her doctorate under Lynn’s guidance. The following conversation was initiated when Kai was translating Lynn’s text, Introduction to Art Therapy Research (Kapitan, 2018), into Chinese. Translation, between one reality to the next, became a theme in our exchange. Kai: The development of art therapy in Taiwan has characteristically been a struggle to fit into the country’s “Westernized” mental health system (i.e., developed primarily from U.S., UK, and European constructs and influences). Art therapy was introduced 30 years ago via international speakers and sojourners who studied elsewhere and then brought their newly-acquired knowledge home. With few local educators and researchers, published research is necessarily limited to their own expertise and focus. Furthermore, to get research published in core social science journals, it has been necessary to position art therapy as an intervention; important societal and cultural aspects of art therapy have gone unstudied. I am concerned that if our body of knowledge is shaped by these limited perspectives, then the development of art therapy as a mental health profession will continue to stagnate. Lynn: It strikes me that what you describe, Kai, parallels the early development of art therapy I experienced in my locale in the U.S. Midwest, having brought my knowledge home after studying at a physical and cultural distance in one of only a handful of programs that existed at the time (in my case, on the east coast). Although I did not have to endure the level of cultural dissonance you experienced, there were few models to learn from and none were particularly amenable to my milieu. The pressure to fit art therapy into dominant cultural systems, whether health care, academic and clinical psychology, or counseling, has long been a developmental concern. Likewise, when I first started teaching research, in the early 1990s, quantitative methodology still dominated. Qualitative studies were starting to appear, but they faced an uphill battle in getting published. Consequently, a dominant idea emerged that research wasn’t “natural” to art therapy and could only be seen as cold, distant, scientific, and even irrelevant. Kai: In Taiwan, I would say that art therapists only recently have been able to conceive of research as a natural part of t","PeriodicalId":8492,"journal":{"name":"Art Therapy","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138541731","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}
