“…After the lecture on uses of the arts in Israel, the local community workers did appreciate the theoretical potential of the arts as a way to address the needs of the most vulnerable populations and requested training in these methods, including art therapy, arts education and, for the disabled, occupational therapy. These uses of the arts are common and well-documented (Baggerly and Exum, 2007;Conway, 2009;Mallay, 2002;Mientka, 2002).…”

“…Traditionally, the arts have always been a medium for transmitting information between generations. In our own post-modern, media-infused society, images are the most persuasive and pervasive tools for influencing people and changing behaviour skills (Baggerly and Exum, 2007;Bresler, 2007;Iwai, 2002;Rosal, 2001;Rubin, 2001). The cultural image explosion has influenced action research methods and the practice of the social sciences, as seen in the rise in arts-based research, education, visual culture, visual anthropology and arts therapies (Eisner, 1997;Huss, 2012a;Levine and Levine, 2011;Lund and Brun, 2010).…”

“…This approach fosters abstract thinking, perseverance, handling experiences with failure and success, and self-regulated communication skills. The improvement in overall resilience can lead youth back into formal education (Baggerly and Exum, 2007;Huss, 2012b;Jones, 2005).…”

“…Adults also use arts, broadly defined as symbolic interaction and self-expression, including when seeking relief from emotional stress. Arts that adults use include, among others, sports, crafts, cultural symbols and rituals (Baggerly and Exum, 2007; Hass-Cohen and Carr, 2008;Huss, 2012b and 2012c; Frost, 2005;Pynoos et al, 1993). The arts enable the retrieval and reprocessing of traumatic memories that are often encoded in images rather than in words.…”

Use of the arts in international aid is common in an ad hoc form, but it has not been systematically theorised or evaluated. The arts have the potential to be a culturally contextualised and sustainable intervention for adults and children in the aftermath of war or disaster. On the micro level, the arts are a method to enable the retrieval and reprocessing of traumatic memories that are often encoded in images rather than in words. On a macro level, they can help to reconstruct a group narrative of a disaster as well as mobilise people back into control of their lives. This paper researches a long-term project using arts in Sri Lanka following the civil war and tsunami. A central finding is the need to understand arts within their cultural context, and their usefulness in strengthening the voices and problem-solving capacities of the victims of the disaster.

“…Research has demonstrated that helping families work toward a level of typical functioning is an important goal when working through a traumatic event (Baggerly & Exum, 2007). Getting Adam to a typical level of functioning included collaborating with the school, teaching the mother therapeutic skills, and implementing an evidence-based CBT for school refusal with the goal of Adam attending school every day.…”

The term play therapy is employed in at least two ways to describe child psychotherapy. First, the term sometimes refers to particular child psychotherapy approaches that centrally emphasize children's play as a means of therapeutic communication and as a modality through which children's dilemmas can be solved (e.g., Davenport & Bourgeois, 2008; Landreth & Bratton, 2006; Schaefer, 1993). Second, the term play therapy is sometimes imprecisely employed to describe individual child psychotherapy generally, given that virtually all therapies rely on children's play at least as a mode of communication (Johnson, Rasbury, & Siegel, 1997). Child therapy approaches, however, do differ in whether play is considered relatively central versus relatively incidental to the process of change.
