Lecture:
Critically evaluating art therapy assessments
(Day 1 PM 6:00-9:00 Lecture L3)
Summary: The purpose of Critically
Evaluating Art Therapy Assessments is to provide counselors, therapists,
psychologists, educators and students, who use art as an adjunct therapy
or primary therapy, with the tools necessary to critically evaluate
traditional and current art therapy assessments. This presentation
will be a nice compliment to a student's current creative therapy
curriculum, particularly those that do not focus on assessment directly.
The tests reviewed will be useful to clinicians specializing in a
variety of areas: family, cross cultural, and school counseling. Given
that art based assessments can be powerful tools for gaining information
on client's strengths and weaknesses, prospective students of art
therapy as well as professionals must critically examine art therapy
assessments.

(Day 2 AM 9:00-12:00 WS D2-1-2)
Summary: Drama Therapy provides
participants with an active way to explore life experiences and make
informed choices. In this workshop we will explore the power of dramatic

The Importance of Continuing to Make Art for the Creative Arts
(Day 2 AM 9:00-12:00 WS D2-1-1)
Summary: It is important for the
creative art therapist (CAT) to continue to make their own art. This
presentation discusses whether CATs working in hospitals were/are
making art outside of their jobs and what their reasons are. The presenter
believes there is an underlying assumption that in order to be a CAT,
one must first be an artist. But how many CATs continue to practice
their art while they are working as therapists, outside of the therapeutic
relationship? Furthermore, why do CATs think it is important to continue
practicing their art? This lecture explains the results of a series
of workshops on Artistic Inquiry that asked CAT practitioners this
question directly. Participants will learn how to perform an artistic
inquiry and they will have a chance to experience an artistic inquiry
directly.

Embodied Experience: Authentic Movement in Dance/Movement Therapy
(Day 1 AM 9:15-12:15 WS D1-1-1)
Summary: This workshop begins with
an explanation of Authentic Movement as active imagination, and as
an in-depth approach to psychotherapy. Authentic Movement is a simple
form in which one person moves in the presence of another. A mover
waits for an impulse to move, learning to wait for the movement to
come from within, and then follows that impulse where it leads. Through
this waiting and then following of impulses, one becomes spontaneous
and alive. Participants will practice the discipline of Authentic
Movement, beginning with group movement and silent witnessing; and
will progress to working in pairs, experiencing being both a mover
and witness. Participants will get an understanding of Authentic Movement
as an in-depth approach to increased self-awareness, and to psychotherapy.
Everyone will explore the origins of movement in the conscious, the
personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious.

WS:
Transpersonal Art Therapy/ Another facet of its approach
(Day 1 PM 6:00-9:00 WS D1-3-3)
Summary: In art therapy workshops,
participants are generally asked to focus on their own bodily senses,
emotions and internal unconscious and express images emerging therein.
In this workshop, however, participants will be asked to focus on
people or things other than themselves and obtain information emerging
from outside of themselves. Ｔhe images that emerge in this workshop
are considered to come from the relationship between the person and
others, which is the lateral transpersonal relationship. This differs
from the hierarchical relationship between a person's ego and his/her
higher self, which is the common idea of transpersonal psychology.
This workshop will provide an opportunity for the participants to
experience receiving messages from their unconscious through other
people.

(Day 1 PM 1:30- 4:30 WS D1-2-2)

involves a wide variety of media, such as visual arts, movement, sound
and music, drama, writing, etc. By using various media in succession
to express a specific theme or problem, people are able to gain a
deeper sense of self-awareness and understanding. Self-exploration
in a psychologically safe environment allows clients to accept and
respect their newly discovered selves. All three leaders of this workshop
have been trained in Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy and will
use these methods to explore the theme of "East"and "West",
in hopes of embracing and respecting the differences of East and West.

Helping Clients Access Deeper Places within through Creative Writing
and Guided Visualization
(Day 1 PM 1:30- 4:30 WS D1-2-3)

therapeutic alliance. This workshop will offer some basic writing
exercises as well as guided visualizations, lecturettes and small
group practice and discussion designed to give participants a "taste
of the possibilities" of supplementing verbal therapy with two
creative forms of expression (one verbal; one non-verbal).

Deterritorializing the Perpetrator: Does Play in Developmental Transformations
Drama Therapy Have a Deterrent Effect on Violence?
(Day 3 PM 1:30- 4:30 WS D3-2-1)
Summary: In this workshop, participants
will be guided through a series of playful exercises designed to introduce
them to the basic techniques and concepts of the Developmental Transformations.

the therapist uses dramatic improvisation techniques to structure
the embodied interactions between therapist and client as necessary
to support the immersion of the client in play with content that interests
him or her. In addition, the role of the therapist as the client's
playobject and the concept of playspace will be introduced. The workshop
leader will speak about his experiences using this form of therapy
in a clinic for children who are sexually aggressive and outline a
theory for how this form of therapeutic play may be a way to prevent
actual violent and harmful acting out.

WS:
Healing Dance:Freedom From Ego and Healing Illness/ Awakening The
Spirit
(Day 1 PM 1:30-4:30 WS D1-2-1)
Summary: Up until now, I have seen
how "dance" has demonstrated remarkable, and immediate effects
on a variety of illnesses. If we ask the question why it has this
effectiveness, it must be because of the effect on one's spirit. If
the ego can be said to be ringleader of illness, then spirit is the
source of health. In this workshop, as much as possible, feel what
is going on within yourself as you dance, focus on the center of your
awareness, and detach yourself from thoughts and feelings. Mantras
will help this process. By repeating the dancing you are able to release
the sense of bodily stagnation, release the hard set mind frame, and
one by one you can peel off the thin layers of the ego, thereby changing
your level of consciousness. And, the time suddenly comes that you
can change the flow of the mind's senses, and the spirit will open
your eyes. The spirit becomes alive and gives rise to a deep sense
of love. Having been born into this existence, by all means you will
want to take at least a step into this world of supreme bliss.

intuition into his art therapy process. This presentation focuses
on how intuition affects the successful development of individuals.
Different states of mind that humans experience will be shown, and
the state of mind that intuition comes from will be explained. Clues
to healing and development which are inherent in intuition can be
seen in client artwork, often appearing in a certain order.
With the use of intuition, clients are able to heal and proceed developmentally,
approaching future problems with higher capability.
* This workshop will be in a lecture format, with a short experiential
exercise. Workshop fees are not required. This presentation will be

Journey of Drama Therapy
(Day 3 AM 9:00- 12:00 WS D3-1-3)
Summary: Group-based Drama Therapy
emphasizes the group process and group dynamic, rather than the outcome
or created product. As the sessions progress, the participants become
closer to one another and thus feel more comfortable working on deeper
and personal issues. This workshop will provide participants an opportunity
to experience the beginning of a group-based Drama Therapy session
with some comfortable distance, followed by a demonstration of the
group process acted out by 4 drama therapists, as certain imaginary
clients. Through this demonstration, we will look into how the sessions
may progress, as well as how Drama Therapy becomes "therapy".

Body as Healer: Movement Dialogues and Inner Journeys
(Day 1 PM 6:00- 9:00 WS D1-3-1)
Summary: This workshop introduces
participants to The Halprin Life-Art process, a movement-based expressive
arts practice. This is an innovative approach combining dance, creative
arts education, and expressive art therapy. Body and imagination are
brought into creative dialogue using movement/dance, drawing, poetic
writing, improvisation, and performance ritual. These arts practices
inspire and generate metaphors relevant to the narratives, challenges,
and burning questions of peoples' daily lives. Working holistically
with the body, it becomes possible to feel, hear, see and begin to
understand what processes, what challenges, what beliefs, what life
stories and myths are being held inside the body. Karina became interested
in dance as a healing art during her own radical transformation -
which included healing her battle with bulimia.

In the Face of Trauma
(Day 2 AM 9:00- 12:00 WS D2-1-3)
Summary: Members in the helping
professions are exposed to secondary trauma by listening to clients
on a daily basis. Overwork leaves one susceptible to compassion fatigue,
or "burnout". This can be avoided by having a professional
self-care plan and putting it into practice. In this workshop, participants
will learn about compassion fatigue and how to make such a plan. Through
experiential mask making, participants will create metaphorical protection
against secondary traumatic stress, and at the same time create a
physical representation of their true selves. The knowledge and practical
experience gained from this workshop can be applied immediately to
one's daily life and professional work.
