“…In restoring the value and meaning of life, color therapy helps patients experience psychological transition from achromatic colors, which indicate unstable mental condition with low desire to pursue the life goal, to chromatic colors, which indicate better mental condition pursuing the life goal. The present results are similar to earlier results22 which showed that patients experiencing severe psychosis are more restricted in their color usage, infrequently using yellow, green, blue, purple, and brown colors.…”

PurposePatients with stroke suffer from physical disabilities, followed by mental instability. Their caregivers also suffer from mental instability. The present study attempted to address the degree and the change of the level of Purpose in Life (PIL) in patients with stroke and caregivers by applying art therapy using colors.Materials and MethodsTwenty-eight stroke patients with a good functional recovery or a moderate disability and their 28 caregivers were selected and evaluated. The period of the study between the stroke and color therapy was more than 6 months. Patients and caregivers were divided into the color therapy (28) and control groups (28). A questionnaire, which measures the level of PIL was conducted separately for patients and caregivers prior to the first session of color therapy (2 hours per week, total 16 sessions). The final examination was performed 5 months after the last color therapy session.ResultsThere was significant difference between before and after color therapy when the level of PIL was measured both in patients and caregivers (p<0.01). These were the same between the color therapy group, compared with the control group (p<0.01). As color therapy progressed to the late phase, patients and caregivers applied increasing number of colors and color intensity.ConclusionThese results prove that color therapy will improve PIL of the patients with post-stroke disability and caregivers. Furthermore, color therapy would be a useful adjuvant for improving the quality of life of the patients with stroke and their caregivers.

“…Two multiple case studies and one case study described the effect of EMDR in fibromyalgia patients. [80][81][82] EMDR was evaluated on physical symptoms (fibromyalgia symptoms and pain) and psychological symptoms (PTDS symptoms, depression, sleep and anger control). Overall, there was a reduction in physical as well as psychological symptoms after EMDR treatment in those three studies.…”

“…The Bridge Drawing (TBD) [17] is an art based assessment tool developed in 1981 by American art therapists Ronald Hays and Sherry Lyons. Grounding their idea in the symbolic meaning of the bridge, the authors of the instrument considered it as a way of overcoming obstacles and seeking new ways of coping with problems, indicating individuals' resources, emerging issues and their ability to overcome them [17][18][19][20].…”

“…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.
