“…Originally authors distinguished 12 TBD rating criteria partially based on the work of American psychologist Emanuel Hammer [17]: 1 TBD has been used for various purposes -to determine the problem solving strategies of a client/patient, to represent the past experience and future expectations [17][18][19][20], as well as emotional state of a client. It has been used also with various populations -children who suffer from oncologic diseases [19], adolescents [23], orphans [24], patients with mental problems [20], university students [25], immigrants [26], incarcerated women [27].…”

The aim of this study is to give an overview on the current situation of art-based assessment in Latvia, focusing on the adaptation and its results of The Bridge Drawing (TBD) assessment tool. The study consisted of two stages – the adaptation of TBD in Latvian and examination of its content validity and psychometric data; the use of adapted instrument in order to investigate any differences in TBD drawings between clients with symptomatic eating disorders and those without. In the first stage of the study, 40 respondents participated, while in the second stage 50 participants (25 respondents with symptomatic eating disorders and 25 without such diagnosis) were selected. It was concluded that the psychometric data generally shows adequate results in most of the quantitative TBD scales. Statistically significant correlation between a number of TBD and COPE-LV scales was detected, suggesting that TBD can be used to determine problem-solving strategies. This research also revealed various differences in TBD drawings of clients with symptomatic eating disorders.

“…For instance, American Art Therapist, Dorris Arrington (2005) found that health professionals working in state shelters and orphanages in Kiev had never heard of art therapy, or the concept of using art as a therapeutic tool. Still, Canadian Art Therapist, Olena Darwych, who visited Ukraine for multiple projects (2009,2013), suggested that while art therapy is in a stage of infancy, art is a universal language that is significant to Ukrainians who have historically been passionate about art (Darwych 2013).…”

A particular political and social mindset toward mental health support has impacted how and why people seek counseling and therapy in Ukraine. Although a relatively small and developing field, art therapy is beginning to provide a means for assisting cultural and identity development for young adult Ukrainians during a time of civil and political unrest. Cross culturally, art therapy has been found to assist young people in developing a healthy self-concept by providing them with a realistic and less defensive view of themselves and their environment. This paper evaluates the development of art therapy in Ukraine, and examines the practice of art therapy with undergraduate Ukrainian students. First, it details findings from a questionnaire with university students to determine their perception of art therapy. Analysis of these findings resulted in identifying their level of satisfaction toward art therapy, and common reasons why art therapy was sought. Second, the article provides a brief vignette to demonstrate how art therapy was used with undergraduate university students to assist with processing negative memories associated with living under the Soviet era. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion about how to tailor art therapy so that instead of being perceived as a cure it promotes self-care, thereby helping overcome the stigma associated with seeking therapeutic services.

“…Over the past years, theorists have emphasized that secure attachment is one of the most basic foundations for a healthy development. It is a predictor of positive outcomes in cognitive, emotional, physical, and social dimensions (Ainsworth & Bell, 1970; Bergman et al, 2010; Darewych, 2013; Ding et al, 2014). In the meantime, research of the past two decades has also focused on "joint attention" as being one of the earliest step of infants’ understanding of reciprocal interactions (Oberwelland et al, 2016).…”

Previous research highlighted the correlation between parent–infant's attachment quality and joint attention skills. However, the underlying mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether it is by mediating the expectation component in Internal Working Models that the quality of attachment style can affect joint attention. At first, 12‐ to 20‐month‐old infants were classified into secure and insecure groups using the Strange Situation Procedure. On a following day, using a violation‐of‐expectation paradigm, infants were habituated to two joint attention videos. Finally, the mean looking time duration of secure and insecure infants were compared with each other between two “divergent attention” and “joint attention” videos. Infants looked longer for divergent attention videos suggesting they did have expectation regarding the appropriate response in triadic interactions. In line with our main hypothesis, secure infants, but not insecure ones, looked longer in the divergent attention situation when an attachment‐related context was present, revealing the possible mediating role of “expectations” in the correlation between attachment and joint attention.
