It is the first published book to attempt to map this terrain. In doing so, the book aims to document important aspects of art therapy in Australia, including how Australian approaches both reiterate and challenge the dominant discourse of art therapy. This book is as much a performance as an account of the potential of art therapy to honour alterity, illuminate possibilities and bear witness to the intrapsychic, relational and social realms. The book offers a selective window into the rambling assemblage that is art therapy in the ‘Great Southern Land’.    Contributors are: Jan Allen, Bronwyn Davies, Claire Edwards, Nicolette Eisdell, Patricia Fenner, John Henzell, Pam Johnston, Lynn Kapitan, Carmen Lawson, Sheridan Linnell, Tarquam McKenna, Michelle Moss, Suzanne Perry, Josephine Pretorius, Jean Rumbold, Victoria Schnaedelbach, Lilian Tan, Jody Thomson, Jill Westwood, Amanda Woodford, and Davina Woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations  Prologue by Bronwyn Davies    An Introduction of Sorts or All Sorts of Introductions   Andrea Gilroy, Sheridan Linnell, Tarquam McKenna and Jill Westwood    1 Taking a Turn: An Image-Led Dialogue between Creative Arts Educators and Practitioners in Melbourne, Australia   Jan Allen, Jean Rumbold, Victoria Schnaedelbach, Amanda Woodford and Lilian Tann  2 Towards Indigenous Australian Knowing   Carmen Lawson, Davina Woods and Tarquam McKenna  3 Desire and the Desert: Moving between Inner and Outer Landscapes   Josephine Pretorius  4 Psyche Nullius: Reflections on Art, Psychotherapy and Psychiatry Down Under   John Henzell  5 Crossing Bridges, Sowing Seeds: Becoming an Australian Art Therapist   Claire Edwards  6 Hybrid Creatures: Art Therapy Education in Australia   Jill Westwood  7 Abject Creatures: Exploring the Relationship between Art Psychotherapy and Contemporary Art   Suzanne Perry  8 The Work of Art Therapy: An Immersive Visual Analysis   Jody Thomson  9 Where Knowing and Not Knowing Touch: Contemporary Art as a Mode of Research, Subjective Transformation and Social Engagement   Sheridan Linnell, Suzanne Perry, Josephine Pretorius and Jill Westwood  10 From Broken Circles to Different Identities: An Exploration of Identity for Children in Out-of-Home Care   Michelle Moss  11 Talking You Talking Me Talking Aborigine: A Paper for the International Forum on Education in Correctional Systems in Australia, 'Learning for New Life – Not Just Doing Time'   Pam Johnston  12 Inter-mission: An Enactment of How Art Psychotherapy and Narrative Therapy Shaped Teamwork and Therapeutic Practice in a Community-based Counselling Service for Young People in Western Sydney   Sheridan Linnell  13 A Conversational Model of Art Therapy   Nicolette Eisdell  14 Material Sensibility: A Sense of Place in Art Therapy Practice and Theory   Patricia Fenner    Epilogue: A Letter to Art Therapists of the Future   Lynn Kapitan  About the Contributors  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210684817751,"sku":"9789004315181","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/art-therapy-in-australia-taking-a-postcolonial-aesthetic-turn-9789004315181","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
