Theory and practice of image art psychotherapy.

Image Art Psychotherapy (IAPT) and its practical applications were presented through one case study. The synthetic house-tree-person (Syn. HTP), a part of the whole therapeutic process, is a unique and excellent method for obtaining information on psychoneurotic patients with problems in family dynamics. Free expression, spontaneous expression and thematic drawings are utilized simultaneously in IAPT. It is important to note again that there are image expressions applicable not only to one graphic representation but to a whole series involving the 'drawing-observing-examining-continuing to draw again' process, and somatic self-expression; that these too reflect the preconceptual emotion and total psychosomatic rhythm, and that there exists a process of approaching the true self over the ordinary defences. The importance of the experience process of images or psychosomatic rhythm lies in the fact that not only an understanding and perception of, and insight into the self can be obtained through creative and somatic rhythm expression, but also the flow of the unconceptualized raw emotion and psychosomatic rhythm is manifest as it is and is reorganized in the total psychosomatic sense.

Lead poisoning in an art conservator.

A case of lead poisoning in a female art conservator is reported. The patient had experienced excessive lead exposure while restoring an antique Peruvian tapestry from the Chancay period (1000 to 1500 AD) using a powdered pigment (cinnabar), which had been recovered from the same tomb in which the tapestry was found. Over two months, prominent neurological, gastrointestinal, and diffuse muscular symptoms developed. Severe anemia accompanied by basophilic stippling of RBCs led to the diagnosis of lead poisoning, which was confirmed by markedly elevated blood lead levels (up to 130 micrograms/dL) and impairment of heme synthetic enzymes. The severity of the intoxication necessitated chelation therapy. Chemical analysis of the antique powdered pigment showed it to be the source of lead exposure, in that it contained about 1% lead.

Icons of ancient suicide: self-killing in classical art.

Attitudes to suicide differ between societies, and also change with time. 104 items of ancient art that show suicide have been examined and catalogued. These icons, the most distinctive of which are discussed here, confirm the view suggested by literary sources that in the Graeco-Roman world self-killing was preferably seen as a deliberate, resolute, and heroic act.

[The staff of Aesculapius. Symbol of the art of healing and of the doctor].

The Staff of Aesculapius, the symbol of the art of healing and of the doctor, is one of the oldest and best known of all emblems. It has persisted over thousands of years in spite of numerous changes and revivals and is today the universal sign of medical activity. The manifold origins and the logically incomprehensible content of ideas of the rod with its snake, and also its many levels of interpretation are sketched in this contribution. It is shown how, in the histroy of humanity myths, symbols and folklore, which are fed from different sources, finally condense into an optical symbol of human activity.

[Elderly women in art pictures--a search for evidence of manifestations of female competence in old age].

The "depictions" of aging women by painters of different historical periods contain significant cues as far as general chances and restrictions of female development across the life-span is concerned. Generally, the supposition of elderly women's public invisibility holds true. By that, not only the popular but also the (pseudo-)scientific views appear rather contradictory. Thus, the termination of fertility could entail a new social freedom and an expansion of the women's life-space, but it could also stand for devaluation and complete restriction. A systematic screening of 85,000 Italian and 9000 non-Italian but European works of fine art (source: photo-archive of the Institute "Herziana" in Rome) resulted in a sample of altogether 1030 pictures that showed one or more elderly women (this is about 1% of the original screening). The analyses focused on social-psychological criteria rather than on iconographic aspects. Five categories were assessed: thematic aspects; range of visible behavior; women's position in the picture; aspects of mood; forms of social interaction. A trend could be found that points to the gradual disappearance of the formerly shown autonomy and competence. Thus, these "images" of aging women shed more light on the hidden agendas of female life-span development. Even viewers of our days might profit by looking at "old pictures" of "old ladies". Eyes might be opened and sharpened as far as the ever changing pitfalls of becoming older in a changing world is concerned.

A reconstructive surgeon's taste in art: Dr Peter Parker and the Lam Qua oil paintings.

Hidden within the basement archives of Yale University's Historical Medical Library lie the original oil painting collection and personal papers of the first American surgeon to practice in China. The Reverend Dr Peter Parker, a graduate of Yale, established the first American hospital in Guangzhou (formerly Canton) in 1835 and successfully introduced Western surgical techniques including amputation, anesthesia, and reconstructive surgery. In addition to this distinguished career of medical missionary service, Parker commissioned the Chinese artist Lam Qua to paint a fascinating series of portraits depicting patients with extreme tumor growths. In this article, Parker's own journals are examined to reveal both his missionary zeal and his frustrations working in China. Selected examples of the Lam Qua paintings are presented along with Parker's corresponding patient descriptions. These detailed patient reports give insight into the extent of surgical pathology as well as the relative brutality of surgical techniques in the early to mid-1800s. The historical significance of the Peter Parker-Lam Qua collaboration within the context of the Western transformation of Chinese art and medicine is also discussed.

[Kapoera--popular dance or martial art?].

Kapoera, a combination of acrobatics and coordinated athletic movement, is believed to have been introduced to South America during the 19th century by transported African slaves. The dance does not involve intentional physical contact, but during 6 months, 3 patients were admitted here for injuries induced by the forceful movements of this dance. 2 underwent exploratory laparotomy that revealed bowel perforations and 1 suffered a comminuted nasal bone fracture. Medical personnel should be familiar with the potential hazards of this dance and martial art.

[Sculptor of The Cripple of the Geneva Museum of Art and History. An ancient Greek portrayal of hemimelia?].

An archaic Greek terracotta vase in the Art and History Museum at Geneva depicts a man deprived of his left arm and with two legs ending in a stump below the knees. Did he suffer from a traumatism (amputation), a mutilating disease or congenital malformation (hemimelia)? A survey of written and iconographic sources throws light on the methods and limits of ancient surgery, and on the chances of survival of abnormal children in archaic and classical Greece.

[Analysis of the facial profile in art and medicine].

The different schools of proportion theory throughout the various epochs of art history are reviewed. Our basic knowledge of proportion theory is attributed, to Vitruvius. Also to be mentioned are Leonardo da Vinci's and Dürer's works, which played a prominent role in the development of proportion theory from the Middle Ages until the late Renaissance. Measurement of the face in medicine, which adopts anthropological nomenclature, is comprised of angular measurements using circle sectors and planar measurements. Today, the medial section, first introduced in 1944 as a concept in facial surgery, is a guideline in the planning and assessment of a face. It should be said, however, that these methods of measurement should only be used as guidelines in conjunction with consideration of the particular circumstances, the surgical possibilities, and retention of the patient's individuality.

[Smoking and art. History of smoking in Norway in paintings].

The habit of smoking was well-known in Norway in the first half of the sixteenth century. Tobacco-smoking is seen in Norwegian paintings. In the nineteenth century, long and artistic pipes were used by men relaxing after a pleasant dinner. In self portraits of Christian Krohg and Edvard Munch we see them smoking pipes and cigarettes surrounded by smoke. In an exhibition of portraits of Norwegian Authors, ten out of seventy authors were portrayed with a pipe, a cigar or a cigarette. There are various interpretations of the use of smoking in art. A simple explanation is that this was an accepted part of life at that time. The authors may have believed that they concentrated better when they smoked and elegance may have been of importance for many of them. The symbolic significance of cigarette-smoking has been of great value in the marketing of tobacco-products.

The rights of the patient in art therapy.

Artistic activities are widely used in mental health care for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The art produced in this process is often recognized as a valuable commodity in its own right, and this raises questions of ownership, self-determination, privacy, respect and psychic integrity.

[Prescription for the day: infusion of cheer. Using art as an instrument in the care of hospitalized children].

The purpose of this study is to report on the experiment of a group of undergraduate students from the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, who use art (some aspects of the Clown Theatre) as a nursing resource in the care to hospitalized children. Having as basis the job performed by the group of physicians "Joy Doctors", and the theoretical grounding from Psychology and Pediatric and Neonatal Nursing, those students founded the Laugh Company that aims at rescuing laugh within the hospitalized child/family. This experiment has caused some changes in daily care: the hospital space has become more informal and relaxed, laugh can be heard more often and some items, such as, objects, sounds, movements, colours, rooms and people can become toys.

The importance of being visually literate. Observations on the art and science of making a morphological diagnosis in dermatology.

Morphology (or living gross pathology) is being neglected in contemporary dermatology. It is high time for a renaissance of the teaching of the art and science of seeing, so that students, residents, and physicians can learn about basic morphological changes in the skin, the raison d'etre of the speciality of dermatology. How do we see? How can what we see be recorded? What do these recordings tell us when applied to morphological diagnosis? Basing my arguments on the studies of Thomas and others, I will discuss the significance of how much a physician actually sees, the effect of certain emotional states and blind spots, the ability to synthesize visually, and the influence of prior knowledge.
