Abstract This article presents the structures and functions of three large scale brain networks (LSBN) in cognition and suggests parallels with functioning of the Cognitive and Symbolic components of the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC). Comparisons explored include connectivity in adaptive functioning, disconnection in psychopathology, and compensation among functional components. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the functional similarities between the Cognitive/Symbolic level of the ETC and three LSBN in cognition and thus enhance the understanding of the process of and promote research in art therapy. A case study illustrates the application of the ETC with reference to LSBN.

艺术疗法的认知和象征方面以及与大规模脑网络的相似之处

摘要 本文介绍了三个大规模大脑网络 (LSBN) 在认知中的结构和功能，并提出了与表达疗法连续体 (ETC) 的认知和符号组件功能的相似之处。所探索的比较包括适应性功能的连通性、精神病理学的断开以及功能成分之间的补偿。本文旨在说明ETC的Cognitive/Symbolic水平与三个LSBN在认知上的功能相似性，从而增进对艺术治疗过程的理解，促进艺术治疗的研究。一个案例研究说明了 ETC 参考 LSBN 的应用。
