“…Another weakness of Western counseling is not being able to accommodate cultural interests, social values, collective relationships, and spiritual views. Whereas at present, cultural factors are determinants of problem solving holistically (Bauman et al, 2019;Cameron, 2010;Wendt & Gone, 2016), moreover researchers agree that spirituality in the cultural context acts as a human control when facing various problems (Babarin, 1993;Counted et al, 2018;Hefti, 2011;Johnson et al, 2011). Research even mentions that collective relations through strengthening national identity are fundamental to be carried out for the spirit of unity (Mashuri & Zaduqisti, 2014).…”

Covid-19 pandemic has affected all parts of human life. It affects health, as well as socio and economic aspects. In this situation, high empathy should follow the implementation of physical distancing to reduce the spread of the virus. However, anti-social behavior has mostly materialized. This study aims to explore the spiritual effect on students' empathy during the Covid-19 pandemic. It observes if spirituality predicts empathy and the other way around. 1004 university students from 65 universities in East Java, Indonesia, were recruited to give responses from a set of questionnaires. Smart-PLS application was used to analyze the statistical data. Findings uncovered that this measurement model is valid and reliable for spirituality (Spiritual Assessment Scale=SAS) and empathy (Interpersonal Reactivity Index=IRI) construct. Through a structural model, our study also found that spirituality and empathy have a significant reciprocal relationship (with a path coefficient of 0.564). Spirituality predicts empathy and the other way around. Our findings suggest that universities' counseling units apply spiritual strategies in counseling activities to accelerate students' empathy during the Covid-19 pandemic and to anticipate the future crisis.

“…Book chapters were not included in this review. The nine papers included theoretical and critical perspectives (Cameron, 2010;Weinberg, 2018;Napoli, 2019) as well as community and ethnographic methodologies (Campanelli, 1996;Huss and Cwikel, 2005;Basto et al, 2012;Lu and Yuen, 2012;Warson, 2012;Warson et al, 2013). A brief overview of these art therapy articles is included in Table 1 and also summarized below.…”

“…The three theoretical perspective papers highlighted the differences in understanding of healing between the indigenous and Western societies (Cameron, 2010;Weinberg, 2018;Napoli, 2019). Cameron (2010) discussed how indigenous healing was informed by holistic understanding of the individual, including the "social, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and cultural states of being" (Cameron, 2010, p. 404). Cameron (2010) further states that indigenous Australians consider art as a daily practice of meaning making rather than an artistic ideal.…”

In this paper, we present a review of research on the role of traditional and indigenous forms of visual artistic practice in promoting physical health and psychosocial well-being, particularly as it relates to the discipline of art therapy. Using extant literature we present an overview of how art making has historically had a therapeutic role in human lives and how it can inform the modern interpretation and profession of art therapy. Thereafter, we provide a critical review of specific studies that reference traditional and indigenous art forms in art therapy in order to invite discussion, dialogue, and awareness of the role of the arts in human development and the therapeutic role of the arts. Gaps in research areas for further study are proposed. Implications for clinical practice including expanding the scope of traditional forms of creative self-expression and promoting an informed and respectful understanding of the role of these artforms in the profession of art therapy worldwide, are also discussed.

“…Alongside the potential of narrative approaches following TBI, arts-based therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognised in the contemporary literature as enhancing healing and well-being for Indigenous Australians (Cameron, 2010;Hovane, Dalton & Smith, 2014;Rasmussen, Donoghue & Sheehan, 2018) and Aboriginal communities globally (Muirhead & de Leeuw, 2012). Recently, Rasmussen et al (2018) showed that for incarcerated Aboriginal men at risk of self-harm or suicide, participation in an art program had a significant protective effect against suicide/self-harm risk, and this effect was cumulative with each additional day of participation in the program.…”

The Potential of a Narrative and Creative Arts Approach to Enhance Transition Outcomes for Indigenous Australians Following Traumatic Brain Injury

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background:Increasingly, narrative and creative arts approaches are being used to enhance recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Narrative and arts-based approaches congruent with Indigenous storytelling may therefore provide benefit during the transition from hospital to home for some Indigenous TBI patients. This qualitative study explored the use and impact of this approach as part of a larger, longitudinal study of TBI transition with Indigenous Australians.Method:A combined narrative and arts-based approach was used with one Indigenous Australian artist to describe his transition experiences following TBI. Together with the researchers and filmmaking team, the artist was involved in aspects of the process. The artist contributed two paintings, detailing the story of his life and TBI. Based on the artworks, a film was co-created. Following the viewing of the film, impacts of the narrative and arts-based process were examined through semi-structured interviews with the artist, a service provider and a family member. Multiple sources of data were used in the final thematic analysis including transcripts of the interviews and filming, paintings (including storylines) and researcher notes.Results:Positive impacts from the process for the artist included positive challenge; healing and identity; understanding TBI and raising awareness.Discussion:This approach may enable the individual to take ownership over their transition story and to make sense of their life following TBI at a critical point in their recovery. A combined narrative and arts-based approach has potential as a culturally responsive rehabilitation tool for use with Indigenous Australians during the transition period following TBI.
