Vick, Chicago, IL, and Kathy Sexton-Radek, Elmhurst, IL  \nAbstract  \nThis survey research compares the structure and practices of 7 community studio art programs for artists with disabilities in Europe to 8 studio art therapy programs in the United States. Art therapy and disability arts literature was reviewed to establish a theoretical context for this project. A survey research method was used, with statistical and narrative analysis to interpret the data. In general, more similarities than differences were found between the two samples. The theoretical and philosophical implications of these comparisons are discussed with respect to expanding models of art therapy practice.  \nIntroduction  \nThis research project was inspired by the studio-based programs for artists with disabilities across Europe that I (first author) visited during a sabbatical in 2003. “We do not do art therapy!” was the claim I heard shortly after arriving at nearly every workshop site I visited along the route. It reminded me of the 1929 painting by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte titled “The Treachery of Images”that I saw during the same trip. The painting features a large image of a smoking pipe with the hand-lettered caption “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” (This is not a pipe.) The seeming disconnect between text and image has the effect of leaving the viewer perplexed. This painting reminded me so much of my experiences when visiting the various studio programs that this paper could easily have been titled “Ceci n’est pas de l’art-thérapie.”  \nEditor’s note: Randy M. Vick, MS, ATR-BC, LCPC, is an associate professor of art therapy at the School ofthe Art Institute of Chicago and a member of the Editorial Review Board of Art Therapy. Parts of this paper were presented at the 37th annual conference of the American Art Therapy Association, New Orleans, LA. Copies of the original survey are available by request by writing Mr. Vick at [rvick@saic.edu](rvick@saic.edu)  \nKathy Sexton-Radek, PhD, is a professor in the psychology department at Elmhurst College. She has collaborated on research design and statistical analysis aspects of projects with Randy Vick for 10 years. She is the author of numerous peer reviewed articles in the area of Behavioral Medicine.  \nMy gracious hosts described the purpose of their programs variously as addressing self-esteem, vocational, and quality of life issues, as well as shifting perceptions of both the artists and the general public about people with disabilities.“How” I wondered, “is this not art therapy?” This study was designed to systematically examine the components of these programs and compare them to art therapy programs in the United States that also used a studio-based approach to provide services to special needs populations.  \nLiterature Review  \nDelineated in the earliest days of the profession (Ulman, 1961), the continuum stretching from “dynamicallyoriented art therapy” to “art as therapy” continues to be used as a dominant model in art therapy practice. Although serviceable and surprisingly adaptable, it is still a paradigm linked to the medical concepts of identifying and treating pathology. Though the notion of the healing studio has deep roots in the art therapy literature (Adamson, 1984), increasing numbers of authors have ventured beyond this template by taking positions more conducive to community practice (Allen, 1995; Franklin, 1996; McGraw, 1995; Timm-Bottos, 1995) . A well-known example of this trend is the long-running Open Studio Project (Block, Harris, & Laing, 2005) . Beyond the art therapy literature, however, lie additional theoretical positions that can inform and vitalize our profession.  \nFor over three decades, the philosophies of “normalization” and “social role valorization” have been debated extensively in the rehabilitation literature. In both these models, people are seen not as","cbCaiiyCnYlye88k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiyCnYlye88k","pdf",103096,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What does the study compare, and across which regions?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares 7 European community studio art programs for artists with disabilities with 8 U.S. studio art therapy programs.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"A survey research method is used, with statistical and narrative analysis to interpret the data.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main overall finding from the comparison?\",\"answer\":\"More similarities than differences are found between the two samples, and the paper discusses implications for expanding art therapy practice models.\"}]","Community-Based Art Studios in Europe and the United States - A Comparative Study | PDF",1792073950,18]
