"Art Therapy and Clinical Neuroscience" offers an authoritative introductory account of the latest developments in neuroscience and its impact on art therapy theory and practice. Contributors explore the complex relationship between art and creativity and neurological functions such as stress response, immune functioning, child developmental phases, gender difference, the processing of imagery, attachment, and trauma. It deciphers neuroscientific language and theory and provides concrete applications for art therapy practice and interventions. This book is essential reading for art therapists, expressive arts therapists, counsellors, mental health practitioners and students.

Portraiture of the author’s face. Dark and white areas clash expressively while naked pixel sizes of the black sand paper disturb the visual flow. The use of soft and hard pastels in the middle portrait slowed the artist down, allowing for more reflection and a recognizable face to emerge. The final portrait is affected by the restricted color palette and traditional pastel paper. Here, there is more space on the page for the figure portrait and the visual reiteration of the facial shadowy.
Neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and hormones. These protein-based messengers dynamically impact mood, memory, learning, cognition and body functions. They maintain and modify internal representations of self and other while shaping long-term health and personality. Knowing the effects that neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and hormones create deepens one’s appreciation of the intricacies of oneself and others. Chemically often more the same than different, how messengers reach their target,.
Mastery and safety while mediating stress responses aroused by novel stimuli. Conversely, utilizing photographs of images of familiar faces may evoke stronger emotional reactions than would utilizing other images. Recognizing that the processing of mental imagery and visual stimuli share most neural pathways (Kosslyn, Thompson, and Ganis 2006) provides further clues about art therapy’s advantages. While guided imagery approaches and verbal therapy approaches are inclusive of mental imagery, art.
Consists of the brain and the spinal cord, which innervates the body organs and their extremities through the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system produces involuntary and voluntary responses to environment. It has two branches: the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary responses to stimuli, maintains normal functions, and restores homeostasis; and the somatic nervous system, which conveys sensory information to the central nervous system and controls voluntary.
Kravits. THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF RELATEDNESS 137 When an infant averts his eyes for periods of time, he is signaling over-stimulation and is attempting to quiet his internal environment (Tronick, Cohn and Shea 1986). Caregivers who fail to allow this period of withdrawal by continuing to pursue interaction and eye contact contribute to an escalating, intense, affective experience while negatively re-enforcing previous mutual sharing. Mis-attunement expressed by continued caregiver eye contact.
