...I have chosen chosen to do my senior project on Art Therapy. I have been into art probably my whole life. I have worked with people in my art classes, trying to help them draw certain things, or teaching them how to shade. I have taken two art classes through out my high school career and plan on taking more in college. I personally think art therapy is a great way to release bad vibes. In my research paper I will talk about how Art Therapy helps people through life challenges that they face. I will describe how art and art therapy inspired me to do this for my senior project. My resources will come from the use of the school library, interviews, and information that I may get off of the internet. I would like to go to the local museum and...

...setting. If children are seen in on an outpatient basis, it is because they can function in their daily lives at home and at school. However, if they cannot function in this manner, they are required to get into a residential program that, depending on the severity of the condition of the child can either become an outpatient setting where the patient can once again live at home, or can become a permanent residential situation. Art as therapy is a strong tool that is used in these programs to help with the treatment process. Art therapists have devised some more playful opportunities that patients respond better to rather verbal therapy. If various methods of art therapy are used, patients can become more communicative and understanding of their situation, and therefore can better treat themselves. In outpatient treatment, adolescent patients can continue to live their daily lives at home and attend regular school while going into treatment in an outpatient clinic. These types of patients usually have some sort of...

...Taking A Look Inside Art Therapy Overview An art therapist is someone who aids their clients in artistically expressing themselves and examining their psychological state of mind through the means of art. Some examples of art therapy are drawing, painting, making collages, and coloring. Art therapy helps clients to uncover the nonverbal messages, metaphors, and symbols that are often found in art. This therapy leads clients to better understand their feelings and emotions. By understanding their emotions, art therapy helps clients to conquer the behavior caused by these emotions so that they can work on resolving deeper issues. Schooling/Degrees In order to become an art therapist, you must attend the right school and obtain the right degrees. A master’s degree is required for entry-level...

These residents are passionate and the aspirations that some of them have is amazing but, many are unsure how to achieve this goal because of their current situation and do not feel like they have the proper support.

...traumatic for children and adolescents, often involving separation from their families, placement changes, and a sense of instability. These challenges can have profound effects on their mental health, increasing the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Research consistently shows that youth in foster care are disproportionately affected by suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to their peers not in foster care (Leathers et al., 2019; Jones et al., 2020). Traditional intervention approaches may not adequately address the complex needs of this population. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative strategies to prevent suicide among children and adolescents...

...The Effectiveness of DMT on Psychological Disorders Introduction According to the American Dance Therapy Association [ADTA], dance movement therapy [DMT] is defined as “the psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration of the individual” and is based on the understanding that the body and mind are interrelated (Strassel, Cherkin, Steuten, Sherman, & Vrijhoef, 2011, p. 50). Dance movement therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for those with developmental, medical, social, physical, and psychological impairments (Strassel et al.). In addition, DMT has been used to treat those with mental and psychological problems, and has also been used to reduce stress and anxiety associated...

...A Review of the Effects of Forgiveness Therapy Liberty University A Review of the Effects of Forgiveness Therapy Reed's and Enright research on forgiveness has demonstrated that a forgiveness recovery program resulted in psychological benefits for women with a history of emotional abuse by a spouse or romantic partner. This review of Reed & Enright (2006) includes a summary of the article, a personal reflection of the material, and application points for future consideration. The article in review employed a case study format that puts forgiveness therapy and will be referred throughout this paper as FT and Alternative Treatment which will also be referred throughout this paper as AT under comparison in women who has experienced emotional and psychological abuse whom have been separated for 2 or more years with no interest on reconciliation. The main goals of the article were first to provide data that proves that FT is more beneficial for women as a therapeutic approach (Read & Enright, 2006). The two therapeutic strategies discussed in this article include: (a) Forgiveness Therapy, and (b) Alternative Treatment. The method of study was conducted of 20 women who fall into the description of psychologically abused between the ages of 32-54 from different ethnic, educational, racial and family dynamics. The design consisted of a control group that had limited contact with their former partner varied regardless of pre-existing children, were divided into 10 groups...

[doctor of osteopathy] degrees and by their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses) to a holistic healthcare system by integrating CAM modalities such as acupressure, guided imagery, humor, massage, meditation, therapeutic touch/healing touch, prayer and arts in general into their profession. This paper explores a CAM and holistic treatment/healing modality, Mantra Therapy, that conforms to three types of CAM as defined by the United States government agency NCCAM...

...Music in Basic Education “Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.” Herbert Jeffrey Hancock, famed American musician, defined music’s transcendental nature very aptly. Music is now widely recognized as a learning medium, an educational tool, and a means of expressiveness of creativity. Modern education emphasizes the importance of using learning methods that will effectively teach children having a variety of learning needs. The old “one size fits all” education system is rapidly being overcome by a more flexible and welcoming system that caters to each child’s individual learning needs. Elementary education is the first level of learning children are exposed to so it is imperative that their foundation is concrete and long lasting. Contrary to rote memorization techniques of the past, modern teaching techniques let children learn at their own pace. In some cultures inclusion of music as a learning element from an early age is not an alien concept at all, e.g. in ancient Indian, Chinese, and even African American cultures. It has been a part of everyday cultural and religious learning for young children. In his paper “The History and Development of Multicultural Music Education as Evidenced in the Music Educators Journal, 1967-1992”, Terese M. Volk sheds light on how music educators were initially encouraged to adopt a multicultural music perspective and include all kinds of music in their curriculum. The paper describes in detail the struggle for American teachers...

...National Institute Health accomplished mapping of 32,000 genes of the human genome. Gene mapping was a significant research that enabled researchers to focus on gene specific diseases and birth defects. More than 1000 research projects started inward voyage discovery of human kind rather outward exploration of the planets. Clinical research involving human beings have greater potential for risk of misusing the technology. Potential for misusing the genetic research and fear of unknown long term effects on the successive generations have sparked bioethics debates. Like abortion, gene mapping is a very controversial subject and both sides have strong views. For example, should a woman abort the pregnancy based on the abnormal genetic screening results? Genetic technology provides an enormous power within our grips and with this enormous power comes following the ethical standards. Ethical standards should be followed involving human subjects. Genetic screening standards should align with four ethical principles of: • Respect for the human autonomy, dignity, and obtaining informed consent • Genetic screening should cause the minimal amount of harm to the subject • Provides maximum benefit to the subject • Genetic screening should be available to all the patients of a certain population considered high risk for a certain disease or condition Purpose of this paper is to discuss the correlation between genetic screening, four ethical principles, and possibility of integrating ethical...

...adults (citation). This paper examines a child’s perception of death and the development changes that children experience when trying to understand death. Articles by psychologists Maria H. Nagy and Sylvia Anthony are compared and contrasted to other scholarly articles on death and bereavement therapy, in particular therapy for children. Researchers Nagy and Anthony’s proposed model of children’s concepts of death shows the developmental changes children experience when trying to understand death. Their research is validated by Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development (citation). Piaget’s model is accepted by professional psychologists as a scholarly index of the cognitive development of children. Piaget’s theory supports articles by Nagy and Anthony (citation). Barbara Kane’s research supports Maria Nagy and Anthony’s developmental model, however Kane’s research disputes Nagy’s suggestion that children tend to personify death (citation). Finally, the research of Gerald P. Koocher is compared and contrasted to Nagy and Anthony’s article. Koocher’s research links Piaget’s developmental model to the development of the children's conceptualizations of death. Koocher’s article also suggests that culture is an important factor that influences the conceptualization of death (citation). My particular field of study is clinical health psychology with a specialty of working with terminally ill children. In conducting my research, it was difficult to choose...
