Adaptive Response Theory: A biopsychosocial approach to art therapy... Dr Girija Kaimal at the International Art Therapy Practice/Research Conference

15 February 2019

"At this pioneering inaugural conference, I am looking forward to meeting art therapists from around the world to better understand how we need to re-imagine the scope of the field from clinical, educational and research perspectives." Dr Girija Kaimal on the Inaugural Conference in July...

At the plenary panel on art therapy and neuroscience Dr Girija Kaimal will present a framework of art therapy founded on our current understanding of physiological and psychological responses to challenges and stressors. Using examples of research studies from her lab as well as scholarship on the role of art in human development, this presentation will highlight how this Adaptive Response Theory of art therapy can be integrated into research and practice, to better serve patients and clients.

In addition, on a panel with colleagues from Creative Forces, she will share their research on short term and long term art therapy interventions with active duty military service members.

The Legacy of Edith Kramer: A Multifaceted View

by Lani Gerity (Editor), Susan Ainlay Anand (Editor)

Reviews on Amazon:

"Lani Gerity and Susan Ainlay Anand, along with their cadre of amazing contributors, managed to bring Edith Kramer back to us with integrity, respect and humor, and endowed to us the scholarly perspectives and life lessons that she embodied. You don't often hear this about academic, scholarly texts, but I could not put this book down; it was simply a pleasure to read. Thank you Lani and Susan for keeping her legacy alive." 

Dave Gussak, PhD, ATR-BC, professor of art therapy, chair of the Department of Art Education, Florida State University, USA.

"To all those students of art therapy who never had the opportunity to herald the arrival of Edith Kramer in their classrooms, fresh off the train from New York City with a rucksack of client art work on her back and her long gray braid swinging, this book is as close as it gets. The Legacy brings Edith’s work to life, revealing the potency, tenacity, and beauty of theories that form the basis of art therapy."

Audrey Di Maria, MA, LCPAT, ATR-BC, editor, Exploring Ethical Issues in Art Therapy: 50 Clinicians From 20 Countries Share Their Stories (Routledge, 2018).

"This beautiful book illustrates the legacy of Edith Kramer as a pioneer, which is more and more relevant at this time, when art therapy is becoming global. Indeed, her words may help others to be pioneers in their own countries, focusing on what she describes as the essential simplicity of art therapy: ‘a safe place, where people may be respected and feel alive… and may perceive their world again, and make some sense of it.’"

Paola Luzzatto, PhD, registered art therapist, UK and USA, art therapy teacher and supervisor, Italy and Tanzania

"The legacy of Edith Kramer has been well documented in multiple publications and countless professional presentations, so why yet another book? Gerity and Anand have gathered contributions from many who knew Edith well, and hence this book provides fascinating and intimate glimpses of Edith as provocateur, critic, friend, colleague, pioneer art therapist, and consummate artist."

Bruce L. Moon, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM, professor and chair of the art therapy department, Mount Mary University, USA.

"This finely-rendered portrait of an art therapy pioneer is a satisfying read: intimacy, history and conviction are interwoven to illuminate ‘our Kramer’s’ theoretical contributions for generations of art therapists to come."
