“…Beyond the immediate processing components, there are other, long-term outputs that appear under-represented—notably art's role in general well-being or health. As noted by Stevenson-Taylor and Mansell ( 2012 , p. 105), “seldom is a rigorous exploration given to ascertaining the effects of psychological change in the long-term. When and how these changes occur is rarely addressed.” This does certainly seem to be the case here.…”

The last decade has witnessed a renaissance of empirical and psychological approaches to art study, especially regarding cognitive models of art processing experience. This new emphasis on modeling has often become the basis for our theoretical understanding of human interaction with art. Models also often define areas of focus and hypotheses for new empirical research, and are increasingly important for connecting psychological theory to discussions of the brain. However, models are often made by different researchers, with quite different emphases or visual styles. Inputs and psychological outcomes may be differently considered, or can be under-reported with regards to key functional components. Thus, we may lose the major theoretical improvements and ability for comparison that can be had with models. To begin addressing this, this paper presents a theoretical assessment, comparison, and new articulation of a selection of key contemporary cognitive or information-processing-based approaches detailing the mechanisms underlying the viewing of art. We review six major models in contemporary psychological aesthetics. We in turn present redesigns of these models using a unified visual form, in some cases making additions or creating new models where none had previously existed. We also frame these approaches in respect to their targeted outputs (e.g., emotion, appraisal, physiological reaction) and their strengths within a more general framework of early, intermediate, and later processing stages. This is used as a basis for general comparison and discussion of implications and future directions for modeling, and for theoretically understanding our engagement with visual art.

“…Consistent with PCT, a number of these studies identified conflict among various important goals that they held for example: a sense of identity, to be socially accepted, and to avoid negative emotions (Alsawy & Mansell, 2013;Stevenson-Taylor & Mansell, 2012). Also consistent with PCT, many participants described that they had less awareness of their goal conflict during their peak distress.…”

“…Qualitative methods are appropriate for discovery-oriented research (Pope & Mays, 2006) and were considered suitable by the authors of these studies as there previously had been little knowledge of the mechanism underlying how recovery occurs. The majority of these studies addressed a mixed range of presenting mental health problems, and they assessed the impact of therapy Higginson & Mansell, 2008;McEvoy, Schauman, Mansell, & Morris, 2012), natural recovery from problematic eating (Alsawy & Mansell, 2013), and the use of art-making within natural recovery (Stevenson-Taylor & Mansell, 2012).…”

The scientific and practical justifications for transdiagnostic CBT are well known and yet there is no consensus on the theoretical approach that should inform it. In this article, we explain the scientific and practical benefits of using Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) by introducing the theory, discussing how it explains the maintenance of psychological distress, the different ways that distress is manifested across disorders, and reviewing evidence for the theory and its applications. We explain how PCT can inform existing active ingredients of CBT such as exposure, behavioral activation, decentering, formulation, and the therapeutic alliance. We also introduce Method of Levels therapy as a transdiagnostic CBT informed by PCT, and describe the implications for service organization and modes of delivery, understanding help-seeking, and recovery. We conclude by considering limitations and directions for future developments.We are writing this article as a tribute to William T. Powers who developed the theory we describe here. He passed away on Friday May 24, 2013 in Lafayette, Colorado at the age of 86. We hope that this article does justice to the depth and breadth of his theory, and to the scientific, judicious, and philanthrophic spirit

“…Thus, a semi-structured interview schedule that includes open-ended questions, prompts, and potential follow-up questions to explore the research questions in depth has been developed. Researcher guided by (Rapley, 2001;Matarazzo et al, 1965;Andrews, 2019;Stevenson-Taylor and Mansell, 2012;Creswell, 2007;Creswell, 2009) , researcher engaging in active listening throughout the interview, demonstrating attentiveness and providing prompts or probes to encourage elaboration and clarification. Semi-structured interviewing offers flexibility to adapt to participants' responses (Creswell, 2009) and delve into emerging themes, facilitating in-depth exploration of their experiences (Rapley, 2001).…”
