The Exposure of Art Therapy Projects

Art therapy projects are short-term art therapy events that students and board-certified art therapists actively create to encourage a wide range of community partnership, assessing the art therapy project’s objectives and its end result. Many other individuals can be involved in it, such as social service for the individual and family, community centers and healthcare, educational school systems, corporations, and alternative sites.

New York’s “Village Voice” printed an article, “Battling Mental Illness with a Paintbrush,” on how a special art therapy project is helping the mentally ill, with Judith Raskin-Rosenthal’s Gallery 300. Clients of an organization called The Bridge, Inc.”, 61 of her student’s works were hung on the walls. These clients belonged to a mental-health agency on West 108th Street, calling themselves the Bridge Group Artists. Disorders such as bipolar disorder, physical disability, and schizophrenia are just a few of the client’s conditions which have leased a new life with their art work. Each artist had their own style, saying their own message, with the hopes of selling their work to supplement their meager incomes.

Special projects involve specific art therapy projects, with a multitude of goals involved for not only the community but also the students involved in the art therapy projects. Another such example is an Art Therapy Project in the Bellevue Hospital by Valerie Sereno, M.A., ATR-B-C, Coordinator, Special Programs and Projects. This project had several goals involved in their art show between the art students, their art therapists, and the community:

• Providing addition experience in the artistic field, in addition to diverse client contact to the art therapy students.
• Promoting community partnership and collaboration.
• Introducing art therapy benefits to specific programs and populations that are totally unfamiliar with art therapy projects.
• Educating institutions, agencies, the public, and financial supporters about the extensive applications of art therapy and art therapy projects.
• Providing creative and therapeutic opportunities for social interaction, communication, expression and emotional development.
• Establishing partnerships with new organizations generating future placements, resources and employment for students.
• Promoting the SVA Master Program in Art Therapy Projects.

Most of the art therapy projects involve themselves with the community they belong to, considering itself its strongest member who acts as a force for positive social change. Some art therapy projects for unique ideas are Community Art Programs for Children, Art for America Benefit, Bellevue Hospital: Adult Rehabilitation Unit, Long Island College Hospital: Partial-Hospitalization Psych Unit, New Alternatives for Children: Children with Chronic Illness and Disabilities, Fight Against Childhood Epilepsy and Seizures, Early Childhood Therapeutic Learning Center for Foster Care, Catholic Charities, and Residential Substance Abuse Rehabilitation for Teens.

Nature Cures: The History of Alternative Medicine in America

June 26, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Books

From reflexology and rolfing to shiatsu and dream work, we are confronted today by a welter of alternative medical therapies. But as James Whorton shows in Nature Cures, the recent explosion in alternative medicine actually reflects two centuries of competition and conflict between mainstream medicine and numerous unorthodox systems. This is the first comprehensive history of alternative medicine in America, examining the major systems that have emerged from 1800 to the present. Writing with wit and with fairness to all sides, Whorton offers a fascinating look at alternative health systems such as homeopathy, water cures, Mesmerism, Christian Science, osteopathy, chiropractic, naturopathy, and acupuncture. He highlights the birth and growth of each system (including European roots where appropriate) and vividly describes both the theories and the therapies developed within each system, including such dubious practices as hour-long walks barefoot in snow or Samuel Thompson’s ‘puking and steaming’ regimen. In particular, Whorton illuminates the philosophy of ‘natural healing’ that has been espoused by alternative practitioners throughout history and the distinctive interpretations of ‘nature cure’ developed by the different systems. Though he doesn’t hesitate to point out the failings of these systems, he also shows that some ‘cult medicines’ have eventually won recognition from practitioners of mainstream medicine. Throughout, Whorton writes with a light touch and quotes from contemporary humorists such as Mark Twain. His book is an engaging and authoritative history that highlights the course of alternative medicine in the U.S., providing valuable background to the wide range of therapies available today.

Iridology Free Software Programs Offer Good Explanations

Anyone interested in learning more about the practice of iridology will find there are plenty of places to learn. From online web sites dedicated to teaching novices about the subject to books and even computer programs, there are reliable sources for learning more. One of the best ways to delve into this science a little more serious involves the use of iridology free software.

Good software programs will provide a decent basis for further study in the field. This rather complex diagnostic procedure involves the use of specialized equipment to examine the eyes for lesions. If lesions are found, they are examined closely for size, location and shape. These things can combine to tell an iridologist if there is a problem within a particular organ in the body.

Finding iridology free software is relatively easy on the Internet. Programs are available to help people earn more about the science. These programs generally include a number of features that help beginners learn more about the field. It is important to remember, however, that iridology is an alternative medical practice. For a clinician to be recognized in the field, formalized study beyond iridology free software must come into play.

If gaining a basic grasp on the premises behind iridology is desired, software applications can help. Some iridology free software programs provide users with these features:

• Basic information. Some of the better iridology free software programs include rather detailed explanations of the science and its practice. This is an excellent way to learn more about the field and whether or not its use or even an education in the pursuit is in order.
• Explanatory pictures. Some iridology free software programs include a host of pictures of the eye and lesions that are commonly found in this study. This is an excellent way to see close up what iridologists look for during a screening.
• Charts. Most iridology free software programs also include the charts that help with this screening procedure. A basic iridology chart includes pictures of both eyes. These pictures are broken up to show which parts of the eyes correspond to certain portions of the body.

Iridology free software provides a good basic knowledge of this field of study. It is not meant to replace formalized training in the practice. If more in-depth study is desired, it is wise to seek out certified training programs.

Should practice in the field be pursued, other forms of software will likely come into play. One of the most common programs used in iridology is a form of computer-aided diagnostics. Many iridologists used specialized cameras that can interface with scanning programs that enable them to better locate and pinpoint lesions in the eye that might indicate problems within the body.
