The art of art therapy : what every art therapist needs to know
\"The Art of Art Therapy, first published in 1984, was written primarily to help art therapists first define and then refine a way of thinking about their work. This new edition contains thoroughly revised material that reflects the significant expansion of the field of art therapy in the period since the book was first written. Specifically, this second edition invites the reader to first consider closely the main elements of the discipline embodied in its name: The Art Part and The Therapy Part. Chapters dealing with each of these topics comprise the first two sections of the book. The third section, The Interface, contains chapters dealing with putting the two together in an integrated way, i.e. Doing Art Therapy (step-by-step) and doing it Artistically. Included with this edition is a DVD containing chapter related video content\"--Provided by publisher.

Materials & Media in Art Therapy
In art making, materials and media are the intermediaries between private ideas, thoughts and feelings, and their external manifestation in a tangible, sensual form. Thus, materials provide the core components of the exchange that occurs between art therapists and clients. This book focuses on the sensory-based, tangible vocabulary of materials and media and its relevance to art therapy. It provides a historical account of the theory and use of materials and media in art therapy, as well as an examination of the interface between art therapy, contemporary art materials and practices, and social/critical theory. Contributing authors provide examples of how art therapists have transgressed conventional material boundaries and expanded both thinking and practice in the field. The chapters discuss traditional as well as innovative media, such as body adornments, mail and video art, and comic books. An accompanying DVD contains media clips, as well as 69 color images.

Cognitive-behavioral art therapy : from behaviorism to the third wave
Cognitive Behavioral Art Therapy explores the intersection of art therapy practices and principles within cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) theories and models. This timely new resource examines CBT theory as it relates to art therapy, and offers an argument for the inclusion of CBT within art therapy-based treatments. An analysis of the historical roots of both CBT and cognitive behavioral art therapy (CBAT) is presented along with current practices and a proposed model of implementation. Also included are case studies to enhance this in-depth exploration of a largely unexamined perspective within the arts therapies.

Statistical and health economic analysis plan for a secure care hospital evaluation of manualised (interpersonal) art-psychotherapy: the SCHEMA randomized controlled trial
Background
The SCHEMA trial evaluates whether interpersonal art psychotherapy reduces the frequency/severity of aggressive incidents or patient distress associated with psychiatric symptoms, compared to usual care.
Objective
To describe the statistical and health economic analysis plan.
Methods
A multicentre, two-arm, parallel-group, single blind individually randomised controlled trial with 150 adults within NHS secure care who have borderline to mild/moderate intellectual disability. The primary outcome is the frequency/severity of aggressive behaviour, measured on the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) 19 weeks post-randomisation, analysed using a linear mixed-effect model, adjusted for baseline MOAS and stratification by gender and psychosis diagnosis. Changes in aggressive behaviour will be evaluated using weekly MOAS scores between 19 and 38 weeks. Patient distress relating to psychiatric symptoms will be assessed using the Brief Symptom Inventory Positive Symptom Distress Index across baseline, 19, and 38 weeks. Health-related quality-of-life will be assessed using self- and proxy-reported EQ-5D three-level (EQ-5D-3L) and Recovering Quality of Life 10-item measures, the latter to estimate the ReQoL Utility Index, across baseline, 19, and 38 weeks. The self-reported EQ-5D-3L is collected using an adapted version for people with intellectual disabilities. Resource-use is collected based on secure care records, to estimate intervention and healthcare costs over 19 and 38 weeks. HRQoL and cost data will inform cost-effectiveness based on the incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year over 38 weeks.
Discussion
This paper details the planned analyses and discusses recruitment challenges, sample size implications, and effect size assumptions. The plan was developed prior to database lock and unblinding to minimise analytical bias.

The effectiveness of expressive art therapy on infertile women undergoing surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background
Infertility produces infertility-related stress in both members of infertile couples, especially for infertile women. Some studies verified the negative relationship between infertility-related stress and outcomes of infertility treatments. Effective mental health care during fertility treatment is urgently needed, but there has been a lack of efficient support services. To reduce the infertility-related stress of infertile women, expressive art therapeutic schemes will be organized and implemented by certified international expressive art therapists.
Methods
This study is a randomized controlled trial. Participants in the intervention group will receive expressive art therapies after the baseline investigation. Expressive art therapies will be led by the certified international expressive art therapist. The interventions include progressive muscle relaxation training, music meditation and drawing therapy. Participants in the control group will receive routine care. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI) will be used to investigate the anxiety, depression, and infertility-related stress of all participants at admission and at discharge.
Discussion
This study will verify the effectiveness and efficiency of expressive art therapies for infertile women. The results will provide new knowledge on mental health care strategies for infertile women.

The effect of mindfulness-based art therapy (MBAT) on the body image of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a randomized controlled trial
Background
The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has increased in the last decade, resulting in enduring psychological effects, including negative body image. This study explored the effect of mindfulness-based art therapy (MBAT) on body image in women with PCOS.
Methods
In a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial conducted in Kerman, Iran, women of reproductive age (18–45) who were diagnosed with PCOS and met specific inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to either the MBAT intervention group or a control group placed on a therapy waiting list. The main focus of the study involved evaluating alterations in body image scores as the primary measure. Additionally, the study assessed secondary outcomes, which encompassed various domains of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. The trial is registered with

(Registration code (25/01/2020): IRCT20170611034452N9).
Results
Between August 2020 and January 2021, 66 participants were randomly assigned to the MBAT or waiting list group, and the study was completed by 60 women. At the end of the intervention, body image (adjusted mean difference from baseline (AMD) of 29.22 [95% CI 19.54, 38.90],
P
< 0.05) and at the one-month follow-up (AMD of 34.77 [95% CI 24.75, 44.80],
P
< 0.05) were greater in the MBAT group than in the waiting list group. At certain time points, some MBSRQ domains, including body area satisfaction (BASS) (
p
< 0.05), appearance evaluation (
p
< 0.05), fitness orientation (
p
> 0.05), health orientation (
p
< 0.05), and self-classified weight (
p
> 0.05), had higher scores than did the control group. However, only BASS had a conclusive effect size (large). Additionally, appearance orientation (
p
> 0.05), illness orientation (
p
> 0.05), health evaluation (
p
< 0.05), fitness evaluation (
p
> 0.05), and overweight preoccupation (
p
< 0.05) had lower scores with variable and inconclusive effect sizes.
Conclusions
The MBAT has potential as an effective approach for enhancing body image in women with PCOS. However, some MBSRQ domain results were inconclusive, likely due to the small sample size. Therefore, further research with a larger sample size is recommended.

The effects of art therapy on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in adults with cancer: a systematic literature review
PurposeWhile there is increasing evidence for the effectiveness of psychosocial support programs for cancer patients, little attention has been paid to creativity or art as a way of addressing their psychological problems and improving quality of life. This review provides an overview of interventional studies that investigate the effects of art therapy interventions on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in adults with cancer.MethodsWe conducted a literature review with a systematic search. The databases PubMed/MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and EMBASE were searched for articles on art therapy among adult (18 years and above) cancer patients, published between September 2009 up to September 2019. Search terms were established for each database specifically. A total of 731 publications was assessed for relevance by title and abstract. The remaining 496 articles were examined using three inclusion criteria: interventions were guided by an artist or art therapist, participants were actively involved in the creative process, and anxiety, depression, and/or quality of life were included as outcome measures. Methodological quality of the included studies was appraised using specific checklists.ResultsSeven papers met the inclusion criteria. Data was extracted from three non-randomized intervention studies and four randomized controlled trials. All studies used a quantitative design with validated outcome measures. Four articles described positive effects of art therapy on anxiety, depression, or quality of life in adults with cancer.ConclusionArt therapy could possibly help decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve quality of life in adult cancer patients. However, because of the heterogeneity of the interventions and limited methodological quality of the studies, further research using stringent methods is needed.
