Video in Clinical Art Therapy Settings: Seeking research participants!
Posted by Sarah Norton I am a graduate Art Therapy student at Springfield College in Massachusetts, and am conducting research on the clinical use of video as an Art Therapy medium. For the purpose of this research, I am interested in the use of video and filmmaking by the client(s) for creative expressive purposes, rather than the use of video feedback. I am seeking Art Therapists who use video/filmmaking as an Art Therapy medium to participate in one to two hour semi-structured interviews either in person or by telephone, depending on proximity. The interviews will occur between October and November, 2007. If you would be willing to participate in this project, please contact me by email, at Your participation, or referrals to Art Therapists who do this kind of work would be greatly appreciated! ~Sarah Norton

Re: Video in Clinical Art Therapy Settings: Seeking research participants!
Posted by Judy Weiser, Administrator I will be very curious to find out what responses you get and what those people are doing.... Also of interest will be whether they call the making of videos, as creative actions rather than "during therapy", "Art Therapy" or more appropriately, "Therapeutic Art" (the categories are sometimes used interchangeably, when in fact they differ significantly...) On the "Who is Doing What, Where" page of the main website that this Discussion Group is part of, at: As you seem familiar with PhotoTherapy, Therapeutic Photography, VideoTherapy, and Therapeutic Video, I will assume that you know that these techniques are not limited to use by only Art Therapists only... And, should you be willing to include other mental health professionals (for example psychologists) who are doing this kind of "therapeutic videography" (which is the name of what you are referring to) as part of their work with clients, then perhaps you will want to read about the very exciting work of people mentioned on that page (for example, Craig Steinberg, Carmine Parrella, and others. just do a "find" for that page, for the word "video" -- and you'll find several listings... And finally, since I don't know how many A.T.'s will be reading these PhotoTherapy-related Discussion Group Postings very often, I urge you to post the text of your message directly to the e-groups that Art Therapists themselves look at often, particularly the "Art-Tx Egroup" that is run by Carol Lark. If you are not a member, then please contact me directly "back-channel" (privately, to my own email address below) and give me permission to forward your message to them -- I will be happy to do that if you want... Hope this helps, Judy (Weiser) jweiser@phototherapy-centre.com
