Colour blindness in Italian art high school students.

To highlight the link between colour blindness and school achievement, the Ishihara and Farnsworth tests were administered to 3,565 high school art students (2,545 girls and 1,020 boys). Analysis showed colour defective students were discriminated against in theoretical subject matter, relative to orthochromate students, but not in the art-related subjects. This emphasizes the need to recognize youth with colour defective vision early.

Psychological symptoms of art students seeking psychotherapy.

Descriptive data concerning type and severity of psychological symptoms of 162 art students seeking psychotherapy at an art school counseling service were obtained. These undergraduate and graduate students who presented for consecutive intakes over one year completed the Symptom Checklist-90-R. Women reported more severe symptomatology than men. Eighty-six and four-tenths percent of this sample met the criteria for probable psychological disorder. The data demonstrate the importance for mental health professionals who work with developing artists to provide skilled evaluation and treatment for a wide range of psychological disorders, to engage in crisis intervention and consultation and to develop a strong referral network for management of medication, long-term treatment, and hospitalization when necessary.

Blending aesthetics and empirics: teaching health assessment in an art gallery.

An art gallery was used successfully as a clinical laboratory for nursing students studying health assessment. Art galleries provide students with a visually rich and stimulating environment that can support the development of astute visual inspection skills. Working in pairs, students examined artwork incorporating design elements common to both physical assessment and artistic inquiry. Students described new learning and clinical application through this innovative laboratory experience. Uniting traditionally empirical coursework with an aesthetic learning opportunity is important in the development of caring, humanistic professionals.

Therapy through art. Facilitating treatment of sexual abuse.

1. Infants and preverbal children encode memory through visual and sensorimotor channels, and there is evidence that at times of intense stress and terror, the cognitive memory system may be bypassed in all age groups. 2. Art therapy offers visual and sensorimotor media that may more easily allow repressed traumatic memories to surface. 3. Art therapy is often used with children and adolescents to overcome resistance, build trust, reduce tension, and stimulate memory. It may also be useful in working with adults, because the repression occurred at a much earlier developmental stage, the adult may also have a child's concept of the traumatic event.

Art therapy. Enhancing psychosocial nursing.

1. The creative process can be a means of reconciling conflicts and increasing awareness. 2. Art provides a permanent representation of clients' internal states and reflects the changes seen in the therapeutic progression. 3. Many psychological states lend themselves to a much greater extent to graphic representation, as opposed to verbalization. 4. Art holds the potential for enhancing the quality of therapy for clients by increasing expression and facilitating insight.

Art and multiple personality disorder: an expressive framework for occupational therapy.

Patients with multiple personality and dissociative disorders have learned to create an alternate identity system, originally designed to protect them from experiencing the pain of inescapable, unrelieved trauma and abuse. The resulting amnesia and identity confusion cause significant dysfunction in daily living. Issues of trust and control are paramount, and occupational therapists are challenged with the task of engaging these patients in meaningful activity. Although these patients often avoid structured groups, they have generally been responsive to expressive art opportunities as an initial activity. This paper outlines an expressive framework by which occupational therapists can therapeutically manage the artwork behaviors of the patient with dissociative or multiple personality disorder. The material presented is based on clinical observation of more than a dozen patients with multiple personality disorder in various stages of recovery and of many persons with dissociative trauma who may have multiple personality disorder. These observations took place within an acute care, inpatient occupational therapy setting. Guidelines for the creation of a positive working alliance and therapeutic climate for self-expression are outlined, and a progressive model for the viewing of patients' art products is described.

Martial arts.

The martial arts have a reputation for being a high-risk activity, but are generally practiced in a safe environment. This article presents the results of a survey which is used to calculate risk of injury per 1000 hours of practice. The injury rate compares favorably with other mainstream activities; in fact, the martial arts are generally considered safer than most. The most common injuries occur to the wrist, hand, finger, foot, knee, head, and thigh. Special issues of importance for prevention and treatment of these injuries are discussed.

An art therapy group for bereaved youth in hospice care.

Through art, music, and drama children can creatively express the feelings of sadness and anger that occur when a family member dies. In so doing, they can often avoid later difficulties resulting from unresolved emotions. Hospices may want to develop an art therapy group to facilitate this process with clients and their families.

Spiritual care of the person with AIDS. Literature and art can touch closed hearts.

Spiritual ministers, challenged to find meaningful ways to heal the hearts of persons with AIDS, are turning to some untraditional sources for help. Poetry, art, and stories are among the creative instruments for healing that pastoral ministers are bringing to the bedsides of the terminally ill. The story is the primary tool of spiritual care. Spiritual ministers working with persons with AIDS and their families should elicit and listen to their stories, which serve multiple purposes. Telling the stories is therapeutic for the person with AIDS. For the minister, the stories identify areas that need reconciliation, as well as those which call for celebration. Finally, when the time is right, the minister can tell another story, one that offers consolation and hope to the afflicted. Ritual is another tool of spiritual care. Just as the concrete image symbolizes the spiritual reality, so, too, does ritual facilitate or help celebrate spiritual healing. The Bible is a rich source of ideas for creative ritual. Other effective tools are art, drama, poetry, guided meditations, and dreams. In the hands of sensitive care givers, they are instruments of spiritual healing.

Predictors of benefit from art, movement, and poetry therapy: a pilot study.

No validated criteria exist for assigning patients to the creative arts therapies. This paper reports on a pilot study attempting to identify predictors of benefit from art, movement, and poetry therapy. Based on a priori hypotheses, selected psychological tests were administered to 31 patients who each received all three modalities of treatment. The relationships of these test scores and therapist prediction of benefit ratings to outcome were then evaluated statistically; outcome was measured by patient ratings and figure drawings. Results showed few significant predictors, though several findings requiring confirmation may provide a framework for future research. Implications and possible explanations of these results, as well as design and other research issues relevant to further work in this area, are discussed.

[Model creation in art therapy. A sculpture project at a psychiatric clinic].

Therapeutic modelling has found little attention in the literature. For the first time, the present article reports about sculptural work in psychiatric art therapy. Since 1994 the Psychiatric Hospital Kilchberg/Zürich is carrying out a sculpture project, in which about 30 patients work with sand- or limestone for 2 1/2 hours daily, cared for by eight therapists and protected by detailed safety regulations. At the beginning and the end of each afternoon the patients stand in a circle to communicate inner mood and ideas about the work. An exposition at the end of the project gives the opportunity to demonstrate the sculptures to family, friends and clinical staff. Until now there have been only positive experiences, which speak in favour of a wider use of sculpture in psychiatric art therapy. Sculptural work stimulates the vitality of the patients, who are challenged to use their willpower adaptedly and rhythmically. Especially on patients with autodestructive tendencies sculptural work seems to exert a beneficial influence.

Visiting the cinema, concerts, museums or art exhibitions as determinant of survival: a Swedish fourteen-year cohort follow-up.

The aim of this study was to ascertain the possible influence of attending various kinds of cultural events or visiting cultural institutions as a determinant of survival. A cohort of individuals aged 25-74 years from a random sample were interviewed by trained non-medical interviewers in 1982 and 1983. The interviews covered standard-of-living variables. Our independent variables covered visiting cultural institutions and attendance at cultural events, reading books or periodicals, and music making. The non-response rate was about 25%. The cohort was followed with respect to survival for 14 years up to 31st December 1996. The background covariates that were used for control purposes were age, sex, cash buffer, educational standard, long-term disease, smoking, and physical exercise. Our setting was the Swedish survey of living conditions among the adult Swedish population aged 25-74 years. About 10,609 individuals were interviewed in 1982 and 1983. The outcome measure was survival until 31st December 1996. In all, 916 men and 600 women died during this period. We found a higher mortality risk for those people who rarely visited the cinema, concerts, museums, or art exhibitions compared with those visiting them most often. The significant relative risks ranging between RR 1.14 (95% CI. 1.01-1.31) of attending art exhibitions, and RR 1.42 (CI. 1.25-1.60) of attending museums, when adjusting for the nine other variables. Visits to the cinema and concerts gave significant RR in between. We could not discern any beneficial effect of attending the theatre, church service or sports event as a spectator or any effect of reading or music making. Our conclusion is that attendance at certain kinds of cultural events may have a beneficial effect on longevity.

Is interest in art effective in health-related quality of life? Results of a cross-sectional survey on lifestyle and health promotion.

The objective of this survey was to examine whether lifestyle and health practices can change the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and how much weight should be placed on each item. A cross-sectional survey by self-administered questionnaires using the SF-36 and questions of our own on lifestyle was conducted in Japan on November 5 to 7, 1999. Volunteers consisted of 147 men and 152 women over 20 years of age. Gender, age, living alone, and lifestyle items such as eating breakfast, regular sleep, and drinking alcohol were significantly associated with the SF-36 profiles. The trends corresponded to those obtained with the previous studies conducted in other countries. Interest in art and regular sleep showed the highest significance (P<0.001) in MANCOVA of eight domains. From the results of multiple regression analysis, drinking alcohol and regular sleep was closely related to physical health status. In the mental component summary and related domains, the important factors were regularity of sleep, not living alone, eating breakfast, interest in art, and drinking alcohol. We concluded that the SF-36 is an appropriate measure to determine effects of lifestyle improvement and assess health promotion programs.

Health and safety programs for art and theater schools.

A wide variety of health and safety hazards exist in schools and colleges of art and theater due to a lack of formal health and safety programs and a failure to include health and safety concerns during planning of new facilities and renovation of existing facilities. This chapter discusses the elements of a health and safety program as well as safety-related structural and equipment needs that should be in the plans for any school of art or theater. These elements include curriculum content, ventilation, storage, housekeeping, waste management, fire and explosion prevention, machine and tool safety, electrical safety, noise, heat stress, and life safety and emergency procedures and equipment. Ideally, these elements should be incorporated into the plans for any new facilities, but ongoing programs can also benefit from a review of existing health and safety programs.

Decomposing stimulus complexes and dissecting art: a theory of evaluation.

A theoretical model is presented, which attempts to account for the evaluation of complex stimuli in terms of their constituent elements that are relevant to the intent of the assessment. The subjective evaluation of a compound stimulus is postulated to be a function of the number, weight and integrity of critical components, or sub-qualities, and their interactions. The model has application to the evaluation of any stimulus complex including works of "art". For illustrative purpose, it will here be applied to the analysis of pictorial works of art.
