ABSTRACT This ‘practice innovation’ paper provides an overview of the development of ‘response art’ which is growing as an integral part of routine clinical practice in art therapy. I provide a literature review of the use of art therapist generated images made before, during and following clinical work. There is a particular focus on post-therapy ‘reflect piece’ imagery which is the subject of the research described in this paper. The purpose of the research is to examine practitioners experience when using art immediately following a session, and how making art in this context, may facilitate the discharge and release of powerful or complex affects and part-processed feelings aroused during their clinical work. Secondly, how developing the themes, gestures and visual motifs systematically between sessions may deepen empathy and attunement, and thirdly, how both forms of visual expression may contribute to the supervisory process. Plain-language summary Response art refers to the visual, creative, art-based responses made by art therapists as part of clinical practice. The generic term is ‘clinical art-making’ and refers to art made in response to any client-related experience, work-based dynamic material or experiences deriving from the clinical context. The term ‘reflect piece imagery’ is used to describe the artworks therapists make immediately following an art therapy session and is the focus of this paper. The potency and clinical usefulness of this form of response art has led to an art-based research project which I have been leading over the past two years. The second part of this paper presents examples from the research and draws together the findings from this and previous research to form an evidence-base from which practice methods and further research in this area can be developed. The literature review traces the emergence of the use of clinical art-making in art therapy practice in North America and Britain and refers to the definition, contexts and application of therapist generated artworks. The current research design described is art-based and demonstrates the use of visual research methods (McNiff, 1998, 2013, 2018) which may also be of interest to the reader as well as contributing to the practitioner-researcher paradigm.

艺术治疗实践和研究中的反应艺术，重点是反射片图像

摘要 这篇“实践创新”论文概述了“反应艺术”的发展，它正在成长为艺术治疗常规临床实践的一个组成部分。我提供了一篇关于在临床工作之前、期间和之后使用艺术治疗师生成的图像的文献综述。特别关注治疗后的“反射片”图像，这是本文所述研究的主题。该研究的目的是检查从业者在会议后立即使用艺术的经验，以及在这种情况下制作艺术如何促进在临床工作中产生的强大或复杂的情感和部分处理的感觉的释放和释放。其次，如何在课程之间系统地发展主题、手势和视觉主题可以加深同理心和协调，第三，这两种形式的视觉表达如何有助于监督过程。简单语言总结 反应艺术是指艺术治疗师作为临床实践的一部分做出的视觉、创造性、基于艺术的反应。通用术语是“临床艺术制作”，是指根据任何与客户相关的经验、基于工作的动态材料或源自临床背景的经验而制作的艺术。术语“反射片意象”用于描述治疗师在艺术治疗课程后立即制作的艺术品，并且是本文的重点。这种反应艺术形式的效力和临床实用性导致了我在过去两年中一直领导的一个基于艺术的研究项目。本文的第二部分介绍了研究中的例子，并将本次研究和以往研究的发现结合起来，形成一个证据基础，从中可以开发该领域的实践方法和进一步研究。文献综述追溯了北美和英国在艺术治疗实践中使用临床艺术创作的出现，并提到了治疗师创作的艺术作品的定义、背景和应用。所描述的当前研究设计是基于艺术的，并展示了视觉研究方法 (McNiff, 1998, 2013, 2018) 的使用，这些方法也可能引起读者的兴趣，并有助于从业者-研究人员范式。文献综述追溯了北美和英国在艺术治疗实践中使用临床艺术创作的出现，并提到了治疗师创作的艺术作品的定义、背景和应用。所描述的当前研究设计是基于艺术的，并展示了视觉研究方法 (McNiff, 1998, 2013, 2018) 的使用，这些方法也可能引起读者的兴趣，并有助于从业者-研究人员范式。文献综述追溯了北美和英国在艺术治疗实践中使用临床艺术创作的出现，并提到了治疗师创作的艺术作品的定义、背景和应用。所描述的当前研究设计是基于艺术的，并展示了视觉研究方法 (McNiff, 1998, 2013, 2018) 的使用，这些方法也可能引起读者的兴趣，并有助于从业者-研究人员范式。
