We are pleased to extend a special invitation to you for membership in the American Art Therapy Association (AATA). This is a momentous occasion as ING celebrates its 20 year anniversary and AATA celebrates its 40 year anniversary. AATA has established a new membership category— International Member (IM) and you are invited to join at the annual rate of US$25.00. The International Member Category is defined as: “Individuals living outside of the United States who are working in the field of art therapy or are interested in art therapy and who wish to support the purposes and objectives of the Association are eligible for International Membership. International Members shall be entitled to receive all electronic publications and other designated benefits as approved by the Board. International Members shall be entitled to attend the annual meeting and serve on a committee, but shall not have the right to vote or hold office.” AATA is adding many new benefits and resources for its members, making this a great time to join the Association. My lengthy letter in this ING Newsletter provides more details about the membership opportunity and the benefits you will receive. I hope that you will join us and be part of the movement to advance the field of art therapy. The AATA and I look forward to continuing to network, learn and share ideas and best practices with you in our extended AATA family. Sincerely, Bobbi Stoll, ING Founder 1989 For Full Details, see page 3 ING/AT Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 Exciting News in 2009 for ING/AT B obbi Stoll, ING/AT Founder; Geri Hurlbut, ING Key Networker; Heidi Bardot, ING Newsletter Editor; and the American Art Therapy Association, Inc. are pleased to announce . . . The ING/AT is celebrating its 20th birthday with a change—from independence and autonomy to “family life in a new home”! We’ve been adopted by the American Art Therapy Association, Inc. (AATA) as they celebrate their 40th anniversary. Our new home is on their website! How did that happen? What does it mean? What will change? Background Bobbi Stoll, as 1981-85 AATA Membership Chair, proposed an international survey which was sent in 1983 to four art therapy associations and 45 isolated art therapists in 7 countries. Within one year over 200 responses were received from many more countries than originally contacted and more than 400 responses were received over the next six years. Widespread interest was expressed in global information exchange and formation of an international organization but by 1985 AATA’s attention was internally focused on their serious financial crisis over-shadowing their international focus. I proposed an international panel for the 1989 conference and, due to the interest it stimulated, representatives from Australia, Canada, Greece, Italy, Mexico, and Scotland met over lunch and with supportive word from art therapists in eight other countries, the ING was created at the 20th annual AATA conference in San Francisco, California in November 1989. The ING purpose as agreed was: “Networking with colleagues world- wide; Helping each other country by country; Problem-solving national concerns; Communicating across national boundaries; Publishing a Newsletter & Directory; Sharing experiences, concerns and concepts; and Developing broader visibility.” An ever-increasing number of art therapists looked to ING for support and validation of their work; for examples of established employment positions and pay scales; educational opportunities; samples of ethical practices; guidelines for establishing university-based art therapy graduate programs; guidelines for beginning a national art therapy association; consultation on gaining government licensing or certification and recognition by related professions; securing speakers and trainers able to come to their country; and accessing world-wide art therapy resources. Over the next 20 years, ING served as a vital link and networking hub for art therapists around the world and was viewed by Fulbright and the U.S. Information Agency as the most complete source of information on art therapy and art therapists around the world! The inclusion of international members is not new. In 1997, I was appointed chair of an AATA Ad Hoc committee on International Affiliation to propose a category of international membership, eligibility requirements, dues and benefits, which was not passed. This time the Board approved the inclusion of IMs before the detailed work began. ING and AATA enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship for many years. The ING appreciated support from the AATA: • space at the AATA annual conferences for ING/AT focus group meet- Page 2 ings over lunch; the website link to ING/AT on the AATA website; • referrals from AATA’s main office staff of telephone and email inquiries received; and • a regular column in the AATA newsletter to provide up-to-date information on ING activities and the international growth of art therapy. In return ING provided: • a resource for AATA about international contacts and information about events and activities of art therapy organizations and contacts around the world; • increasing visibility as well as new international members in AATA; • a website link to AATA on the ING/ AT website; and • information in the ING/AT newsletter and website about AATA conferences and other AATA news. Nevertheless, it was important for the ING to remain independent of the AATA. If the ING was a committee or formally connected in any other manner to the AATA, ING members would be required to also be AATA members and the cost would be prohibitive for the population the ING most wanted to reach. Wanting to keep member dues at a minimum and needing funds to print and mail the semi-annual ING Newsletter to the increasing number of members, ING annual dues were set at $15 for individuals and $25 for organizations and institutions. Dues were waived for art therapists in Third World and developing countries. Generous donations enabled wider distribution than the dues alone. In spite of printing cost increases and rising postal rates, ING dues remained the same over the 20 years. • Recent Events Since January 2006, the AATA has been undergoing major changes which have ING/AT Changes, continued from page 2 only recently begun to take shape along with an interest in the international art therapy community. Of course, the ING was a natural place to begin. In preparation for AATA’s 40th anniversary, I was asked to chair a sub-committee of AATA’s Membership Committee to develop a new category of International Member of AATA that included or incorporated the ING. Working with Geri Hurlbut, ING Key Networker; Judy Rubin, AATA Board member and Liaison to Membership; and Laura Loumeau-May and Mickie McGraw, co-chairs of the Membership Committee, we submitted a definition of an International Member (IM) that was approved by AATA’s Board of Directors. “Individuals living outside of the United States who are working in the field of art therapy or are interested in art therapy and who wish to support the purposes of the Association are eligible for International Membership. International members shall be entitled to receive all electronic publications and other designated benefits as approved by the Board. International members shall be entitled to attend the annual meeting and serve on a committee, but shall not have the right to vote or hold office.” A few concessions had to be made but I am pleased that we were able to create a benefit package of excellent resources with minimal increase in annual dues. In order to keep dues affordably low and still have access to the wealth of AATA resources, there will be no postal mailings. Information and resources will be available to IMs only on the AATA website. Dues for individuals, organizations and institutions will be US$25 annually. Organizations and institutions will now need to join under the name of a live person (the President or Membership Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 Chair of an association; the college librarian or Art Therapy Program director; the clinic Director; hospital, facility or department Supervisor; etc) whose website access code can be shared. Unfortunately, those without Internet access will be at a definite disadvantage and we want to know about anyone left out of communication. In addition, English will be the language of the website just as the ING Newsletter was in English and relied on translation within each country through Correspondents. We do not intend to drop or overlook anybody so please let us know any problems you will have with the expansion of the ING in this merger. Please share this important milestone in the growth of the International Networking Group with all of your art therapy colleagues and friends. Resources The newly designed AATA website— americanarttherapyassociation.org—is a rich source of information, articles, announcements, research opportunities, chapter news, annual conference information and registration, membership directory and, to maintain ING’s networking feature, the ING corner on which IMs can chat, submit news and post notices of events, meetings and conferences in Cyber-time. This will replace the ING Newsletter which will be discontinued after this current Summer 2009 issue. The ING will continue to hold Open Forums at the AATA Annual Conferences just as we’ve done for the past 20 years. Ongoing Advocacy Bobbi Stoll will continue to advocate on behalf of IMs for increased benefits and advantages: 1. Greater discounts on Conference registration costs 2. Translation assistance for art thera- Page 3 pists wishing to submit transcripts and references to the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB) when applying for Art Therapy Registration (ATR). 3. One-on-one mentors. 4. Financial help in paying the $25 annual AATA dues for those ING members whose ING dues were waived. 5. Affiliate Chapters of AATA to serve as mentors, friends, advisors, colleagues with developing or existing Art Therapy Associations in other countries. 6. Maintaining the ING identity by continuing to use the ING name on the ING corner on the website. The ING name enjoys international recognition and should not be lost to art therapists searching for connections. 7. Propose a means by which IMs will have representation on the AATA Board of Directors. 8. Continuation of my ongoing appeal to the ATCB for a credential for non-US art therapists (will require success in implementing #2 above). The following is the AATA’s list of existing and developing benefits. As you can see major changes are made in both the AATA and the ING!

Last Thoughts Geri Hurlbut, MA, MFT, ATR-BC Key Networker, ING/AT South Carolina, USA I t has been a great pleasure to serve all of you and to sustain the International Networking Group over the past two years. It has been a labor of love, and I have enjoyed interacting (either virtually or in the real world) with each and every one of you. Your valuable contributions to the newsletter, updates, conferences, and yes, even corrections, demonstrates the importance of the work we have done. Special thanks to Heidi Bardot, newsletter editor, Amy Hazle, membership coordinator, and of course, Bobbi Stoll and Judy Rubin, who have the foresight to move ING/AT to the next level. Personally, my hope is that the momentum we have built will carry this valued organization through this next transition. I hope you will all continue to support the process and continue to share the news from your region. ING/AT Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 Page 5 Asian Art Therapy Symposium 2009 Review Jordan Potash, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT (USA), Asian Art Therapy Program Committee Chairperson F rom 19-21 March 2009, Hong Kong served as the meeting place of Asian-based art therapists, artists, art educators, and helping professionals who use art in their work. The Asian Art Therapy Symposium 2009: Healing Bridges brought over 120 participants from 5 different countries. They met in plenary sessions, paper presentations, and experiential workshops to learn from each other and the 30 presenters from different countries including Cambodia, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, as well as, Austria and Switzerland. Each of the 3 days were dedicated to a particular theme. The first day was dedicated to “Art Therapy in Diverse Asian Contexts”. In the plenary, Professor Angelica Baumer (Austrian Art Brut curator) discussed Art Brut, while Dr. William Fan (psychiatrist, Hong Kong) introduced parallel work created by psychiatric clients in Hong Kong. Julia Byrne (art therapist, Hong Kong) integrated the two presentations by sharing implications of their respective work for the field of art therapy. The second day introduced participants to “Art Therapy Theory and Practice”. Dr. Shirley Ma, the first Chinese Jungian analyst, shared her work as a Jungian in a Hong Kong context. Speakers throughout the day offered ideas on clinical practice and research methods to help provide a strong theoretical foundation for their work. “Increasing Access to Art Therapy Ser- Asian Art Therapy Association and Healing Bridges Exhibit vice Users” guided the final day with the plenary session addressing art therapy training programs in Asia with the delicate balance of honoring Western standards while holding true to local values. For this panel, Dr. Liona Lu discussed the masters program in Taiwan and Carrie Herbert shared a professional training she helped found in Cambodia. From there speakers shared the diverse ways in which they bring art therapy to a variety of different clients in both traditional and non-traditional settings. In addition to the range of presentations, participants were able to visit the Healing Bridges Exhibition, which featured art made by psychiatric clients and social service users in Hong Kong. Beyond the opportunity to learn, many of the participants appreciated the opportunity to meet and network with their colleagues across Asia. To facilitate future collaboration, symposium participants created the “Asian Arts Therapy Network” on Facebook. This symposium was organized by Baptist Oi Kwan Social Services, Hong Kong Association of Art Therapists, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation, and Centre on Behavioral Health of the University of Hong Kong. The collaborating partner, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, hosted the symposium in a converted factory that now houses art studios and arts organizations. The gathering was made possible by the corporate sponsor UBS and supporting organization The Tank. ING/AT Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 Art Therapy in Thailand Paola Luzzatto, PhD Art Therapy Italiana I had an opportunity to go to Bangkok in October 2008. After having worked as an art therapist in London, in New York, and now in Italy, my desire to connect with art therapy on an international level is very strong. Before leaving Italy, I got from ING/AT a few email addresses. I soon received a very kind reply from Dr Lertsiri Bovornkitti, who is a professor of Fine Arts at Srinakharinwirot University, in Bangkok. Lertsiri has been interested in art therapy for a number of years, and has had already a number of contacts with some of the most established art therapists, especially in USA (among them Frances Anderson and Judy Rubin). Lertsiri has a dream: to establish a formal art therapy training in the Fine Arts Department of his University. He has already a group of potential art therapy students, coming from different professions. I was invited to give a talk on “ Art Therapy Theory and Practice” to a group made up of social workers, psychologists and nurses, who were very attentive and keen listeners. Lertsiri explained how he has to take small steps to hopefully receive the official permission to start the art therapy training at University level. He is in Fine Arts, and wants to connect with the Psychology and Psychotherapy Department, in order to build a professional training of high standards. In the meantime, he publishes a Journal, and he would be happy to get articles on art therapy from abroad, that he can translate into the Thai language. I greatly appreciated his enthusiasm and his determination: he has a dream, and he is also very realistic. On the following day, Lertsiri took me to visit the Rajanukul Institute, in Bangkok. I feel very fortunate that I was able to meet the director, Somjit Kraisri, spend a full day with her, and meet also some members of her staff and some of her patients. The Rajanukul Institute is part of a State Psychiatric Hospital, but it functions as a separate Unit: it started 50 years ago, to care for children with “mental disabilities, mental retardations and autism.” Somjit who is a doctor and also an artist, has had in the past some medical problems: tells me she has full confidence in the healing power of the art process, because she has experimented with it on herself. The center has seven rooms: a room for the whole group; a room for small group activities; a coffee room; an exhibition room Page 6 for visitors; a kitchen, a coffee room for staff; and a separate cafeteria with restrooms, in a very evocative environment, surrounded by water. The patients (here they are called “students”) attend the center four days a week (8.30a.m. – 3pm), for a period of three months. On each day, there is a maximum of 30 participants. The activities at the center are so well organized that I like to describe the day structure of the service, in some detail: Verbal self-introduction: The “students” sit on the floor in a large circle, and introduce themselves, one by one, to the group (about 35 minutes). Movement/ physical exercise in the group (15 minutes). Music and Dance: Thai dances at the sound of Thai music (all together). Activities: The students get divided into six small groups (5 children for each group), and they will work on different activities, under the guidance of six different teachers. The activities are the followings: a) Drawing; b) Painting; c) Sculpture; d) Batik; e) Carpets; f) Crafts. Somjit illustrates to me the therapeutic effects of each activity on her “students,” for whom she shows the greatest respect. She is an intuitive pioneer in art therapy: she has had no formal training, but it seems she knows everything about the art therapy process, the body-mind interaction and the expression of emotions. Lertsiri tells me that Somjit needs the diploma in art therapy in order to be better recognized in the Hospital: certainly she will be one of his first students as soon as the training in art therapy is established! I left Bangkok with the memory of Lertsiri Bovornkitti’s enthusiasm and his commitment to his students, eager to enter the art therapy profession. Also, I hope Somjit Kraisri will be able to continue to make the creative process available to so many vulnerable children at the Rajanukul Institute. Although my stay was quite short, I left with a vision of a great future for art therapy in Thailand. ING/AT Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 Page 7 My Twelve Days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Bobbie Stoll, MFT, CTS, CT, ATR-BC, HLM ING/AT Founder F lying business class to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was the closest I've ever come to experiencing royal treatment. I’d been invited to deliver a keynote address at a conference on Partnership in Rehabilitation: The Holistic Approach sponsored by the Rehabilitation Hospital at King Fahd Medical City (KFMC) in Riyadh Nov. 2008. I felt especially privileged on a government visa which I’d been issued as an invited speaker (a single female cannot obtain a visa to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). When I arrived, was presented with a black abaya (robe) and hijab (head scarf) which I was instructed to wear anytime I was outside the hotel. This is strictly enforced in Riyadh. I spent most workdays at the KFMC Rehabilitation Hospital. A very large walled-in area in the center of Riyadh, it includes four hospitals (General, Rehabilitation, Maternity and Children’s Hospitals), apartment complexes for foreign medical staff and families, supermarkets, banks, pharmacy, post office, and other facilities in any "city”. The art therapy unit Dr. Al-Yami estab- lished single-handedly was of great interest. It was well stocked with art supplies and well maintained by five apprentices in training. The patient artwork consisted of geometric patterns, ornate Arabic calligraphy or flowers and some familiar art expressions. The explanation given was the Islamic prohibition against images of people or animals. It was difficult to discern any affective expression in these works but mastering the art materials to create any painting was, in itself, gratifying to this population. One paraplegic struggled to blow through a straw to move the color he’d asked an aid to place in a particular place on his canvas. Others, unable to hold a paint brush, achieved professional results by “painting” with body parts. Doctors from other KFMC hospitals requested a 2-hr intro to art therapy as it could apply to their specialties. Neurologists, surgeons, general practitioners, student doctors and interns’ interest had been piqued by Dr. Al-Yami’s work in the Rehabilitation Hospital. Dr. Al-Yami is the only trained art therapist in Saudi Arabia. I witnessed his achievements in a country that had no knowledge of art therapy prior to his introduction. After receiving an MA in art education from Indiana University—Purdue University in Indianapolis, a three year graduate in art therapy from Illinois State University and a doctorKingdom Tower, tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia and site of the highest mosque in the world Dr. Awad Al-Yami, founder of art therapy in Saudi Arabia ate from Penn State in 1995, he returned to Saudi Arabia and began a 3year battle with the Saudi government for a license. With a little help from ING/AT, on April 2, 2000 he became the first art therapist to be licensed by the Saudi Health Minister who assigned professional code 353 to the profession of art therapy. “Dr. Al-Yami is a skillful therapist able to instill therapeutic value to the creative process.” As Asst. Professor of Art Education at King Saud University at the time, he taught Art for Special Populations and worked in vain to establish a universitybased graduate art therapy program at King Saud and other universities in Riyadh. His efforts were unsuccessful, in 1999, Dr. Al-Yami outlined some of the obstacles he faced: “Art and drawing are against the Muslim religion and there are many very religious Muslims here but there’s much attraction to art!” In regard to his private practice, he lamented that Saudi men do not seek therapy and religious beliefs prohibit male therapists working with female patients. Dr. Al-Yami began a 3-week introductory course in art therapy for a clinic staff that included female therapists. He eventually gained staff positions as an art therapist in a series of hospitals Saudi, continued page 7 ING/AT Saudi, continued from page 6 and proposed to train other therapists in the use of art therapy. He was repeatedly discharged by psychiatrists/ administrators who did not believe art therapy was helpful or, in one case, was deserving of the positive response it received from other hospital staff. In 2005, he found royal support at the Rehabilitation Hospital at KFMC where he developed the art therapy unit and apprentice training program that is highly regarded by male and female wards, administrators and doctors. By mid-2007 word of his successes with art therapy must have spread. He was approached by the Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia to provide art therapy in the ambitious 6-month old rehabilitation program for terrorists at Care Center to work on psychological problems, social adjustment, reintegration and the acquisition of vocational skills. His use of art therapy to convert terrorists to positive members of Saudi society has been phenomenally successful. It has become a model program studied and copied by other countries’ in their attempts to socialize terrorists. He was eager for me to see the Care Center where his art therapy program has garnered worldwide attention and Vol. 21, No. 2, 2009 praise. Care Center is operated by the Minister of the Interior to return Al Qaeda terrorists and former Guantanamo detainees to productive members of society. A visit to the art therapy building and program revealed more Arabic calligraphy, abstract and geometric artwork and an increased number of verses from the Koran. The lack of recognizable emotion and content in the artwork gave increased importance to Dr. Al-Yami as a skillful therapist able to instill therapeutic value to the creative process. Meeting with an English-speaking graduate of the program who was released from Guantanamo 15 months earlier, he spent three months in a Saudi jail and six months in the Care Center's intensive program where he was given essentials for survival. He reported Al Qaeda’s faulty interpretations of Islam were corrected by the Sheiks in the Care Center program and through art therapy he recognized the direction he intended was the opposite of the direction he'd taken. He exhibited no apparent PTSD symptoms and held no grudges or blame. I was impressed with this young man—his openness, insightfulness, turnaround and well-managed anger that he claimed was extinguished Saudi women in the traditional abaya and veil, allowing others to only view their eyes. Page 8 The Ministry of the Interior one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks with its unique design. when he found himself and his life purpose. On completion of the Care Center program, he was given a car, money for a home, was introduced to his potential wife, is now married and excitedly expecting his first child. He said he is convinced he's on the right path in his life and is at peace. The Conference The Partnership in Rehabilitation: The Holistic Approach Conference was held at the KFMC Rehabilitation Hospital with an exhibit of patient artwork in the large hallway and anteroom which I helped to assemble for several days before the conference. I presented on Art Therapy in Treating Post Traumatic Stress. In the conference plenary sessions, men and women were separated by sitting on opposite sides of the auditorium. The conference was well attended by people from all parts of the country and hospital staff. The formal 2 ½ day program was followed by postconference workshops which was when the art therapy workshop was scheduled for me and Dr. Al-Yami. The whole experience certainly was a unique and exciting cultural exchange. NOTE: This article has been edited due to space limitations.
