ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of vitality affects and basic affects and to shed light on their importance in terms of patients’ inner change through art therapy. In an earlier study, where 17 women were interviewed about inner change through art therapy, a secondary deductive content analysis of images and statements was performed exploring the presence of vitality affects and basic affects. Nine of the 17 interviews contained clear descriptions of vitality affects and basic affects in the intersubjective communication between the patient and the therapist; these affects were also mirrored in the patients’ painted images. Three cases are used to illustrate the result and how affects are related to inner change. These three cases differ from each other in that they describe vitality affects either; arising from the art therapist’s empathetic verbal or non-verbal response, from a particular experience in nature, or from the interpreted symbolic language of the image. The common denominator identified as uniting the three cases was the intersubjective communication with the therapist. This study indicates that image making in art therapy gives rise to vitality affects and basic affects that contribute to inner change. It also indicates the importance of having trust in both the method and the art therapist.

艺术治疗中活力情感和基本情感的表现及其对内在变化的意义

摘要 本研究的目的是描述活力影响和基本影响的发生，并阐明它们在通过艺术治疗患者内在变化方面的重要性。在较早的一项研究中，17 名女性接受了艺术治疗带来的内在变化的采访，对图像和陈述进行了二次演绎内容分析，探索了活力影响和基本影响的存在。17 次访谈中有 9 次清楚地描述了患者与治疗师之间的主体间交流中的活力影响和基本影响；这些影响也反映在患者的绘画图像中。三个案例用于说明结果以及影响如何与内在变化相关。这三个案例彼此不同，因为它们描述了活力影响；来自艺术治疗师的移情语言或非语言反应，来自自然界的特定体验，或来自图像的解释符号语言。确定将三个案例结合起来的共同点是与治疗师的主体间交流。这项研究表明，艺术治疗中的图像制作会产生有助于内在变化的活力影响和基本影响。它还表明信任方法和艺术治疗师的重要性。这项研究表明，艺术治疗中的图像制作会产生有助于内在变化的活力影响和基本影响。它还表明信任方法和艺术治疗师的重要性。这项研究表明，艺术治疗中的图像制作会产生有助于内在变化的活力影响和基本影响。它还表明信任方法和艺术治疗师的重要性。
