Integrating Art Therapy And Emerging Technologies For Enhanced Neuroplasticity And Ptsd Intervention, Piper Hutson, James Hutson
Integrating Art Therapy And Emerging Technologies For Enhanced Neuroplasticity And Ptsd Intervention, Piper Hutson, James Hutson
Faculty Scholarship
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains resistant to many conventional treatments, underscoring the need for integrative approaches that harness neuroplasticity. Art therapy, with its capacity to facilitate nonverbal trauma processing and multisensory engagement, has shown distinctive advantages over verbal and pharmacological interventions. Recent innovations, including virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and biofeedback have amplified the therapeutic efficacy of art-based interventions by enabling adaptive, real-time modulation of emotional and physiological states. This review synthesizes current research on technologically enhanced art therapy, comparing it to established treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Findings indicate …
Spontaneity In A Jungian Art Therapy Group, Ellen M. Sherwood
Spontaneity In A Jungian Art Therapy Group, Ellen M. Sherwood
Theses
The problem of spontaneity in a Jungian art therapy group is addressed in terms of the integration of intuitive/ unconscious processes with the more cognitive aspects of art therapy. An explanation of basic Jungian theory is given, focusing on the process of active imagination, which forms the theoretical framework of the study. Conclusions are based on phenomenological data in conjunction with the writer's cognitive and subjective experiences while running the group.
The Ongoing Art Therapy Interview Process In A Psychiatric Milieu, Vivian A. Ware
The Ongoing Art Therapy Interview Process In A Psychiatric Milieu, Vivian A. Ware
Theses
This paper presents the development and application of the Ongoing Art Therapy Interview (OATI), a structured approach designed to assess and support patients in a psychiatric day hospital setting. The OATI combines the therapeutic and diagnostic dimensions of art therapy by integrating artwork with guided interpersonal dialogue. It is informed by Harry Stack Sullivan’s interpersonal theory of psychiatry, particularly his diagnostic framework for understanding patient experience, communication, and relational patterns.
The study outlines the theoretical foundations of the OATI, its practical procedures, and its role as both a therapeutic intervention and an evaluative tool. In this model, patients produce visual …
Art Therapy For Emotionally Disturbed Children: Clay And Media Dimension Variables, Wendy Wirth
Art Therapy For Emotionally Disturbed Children: Clay And Media Dimension Variables, Wendy Wirth
Theses
This thesis investigates the application of art therapy for the evaluation and treatment of emotionally disturbed children, with a specific focus on the use of clay and Media Dimension Variables (MDV). The author posits that clay is an exemplary medium for therapeutic intervention due to its plasticity, three-dimensional nature, and capacity to range from resistive to fluid states. The study adopts Kagan’s (1969) MDV system to structure therapeutic interventions, categorizing art activities by three distinct variables:
-
Structure: The extent of guidelines or controls (High vs. Low).
-
Media Quality: The inherent properties of the material (Resistive vs. Fluid).
-
Task Complexity …
