Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to investigate art therapists’ response art experiences in clinical practice. To this end, the researcher conducted interviews with eight art therapists. Interview data were analyzed through a consensual qualitative research method. As a result, five domains― “motivation of response art,” “self-care through response art,” “interaction through response art,” “Practical difficulties in response art,” and “improvement in the therapist’s expertise through response art”―and 17 associated categories were derived. This means that art therapists used response art as a means of communicating with clients at clinical practice and they also chose response art as a way to take care of themselves as therapist after the session. Although there were practical difficulties in implementing the response art, it was found that the art therapist felt the need for the response art to function as an expert and was implementing it. The significance of this study lies in emphasizing the value and importance of response art by examining the types of experiences art therapists have through the implementation of response art in clinical practice, which shows the unique identity of individual art therapists.
